Chamber of Engineers - right to use the professional title "Consulting Engineer" (foreign qualification, establishment)
Service Description
The professional title "Consulting Engineer" is regulated in Thuringia. This means that the use of this professional title is bound by legal regulations (Thuringian Chamber of Architects and Engineers Act - ThürAIKG -) to the possession of certain professional qualifications. If you wish to settle permanently in Thuringia and use the professional title "Consulting Engineer", you must be registered in the list of Consulting Engineers at the Chamber of Engineers of Thuringia. The registration must be applied for.
The registration in the list of consulting engineers and thus the authorization to use the professional title "Beratende Ingenieurin" / "Beratender Ingenieur" is helpful for the exercise of a professional activity, but is not a mandatory requirement. This means that you can also provide certain engineering services on your own responsibility (independently) and independently without being registered in the list of consulting engineers. However, you are then not allowed to use the protected professional title "Consulting Engineer" / "Beratender Ingenieur".
Process flow
The prerequisite for registration in the list of consulting engineers is first of all the authorization to use the professional title "Ingenieurin" / "Ingenieur" (see the service description "Right to use the professional title "Ingenieurin" / "Ingenieur", foreign qualification, establishment"). In addition, after acquiring this authorization, you must in principle have carried out at least two years of full-time practical work in the main professional tasks in the field of engineering (professional practice). Registration also requires that the professional tasks are performed on one's own responsibility (autonomously) and independently and that professional liability insurance, which must meet certain legal requirements, has been taken out beforehand.
Registration procedures can also be handled via the technical systems of the point of single contact:
