All candidates able to pay the application and examination fees with a credit card are encouraged to register and apply online using the Online Application Form.  You will be required to register a user name and password before proceeding.  You may not apply online if you cannot pay the application and examination fees with a credit card.  To apply by mail, please follow these instructions.

An unfinished application form can be saved by pressing the “Save – Complete Later” button at the bottom of the page, and can then be retrieved later by using the applicant’s email address and applicant-created password.

Once the applicant has carefully reviewed and verified all information both in and accompanying the form, s/he must press the “Submit” button to send the application electronically.  A summary page listing essential application information will be generated upon submission and should be printed or saved in a file for future reference.

Online applicants will receive an auto-generated e-mail within 24 hours.  Please note that such notification only confirms successful transmission of the application and is not be construed as confirmation of eligibility.  Candidates who do not receive a confirmation of receipt message within 24 hours of online application should contact the EMCI Certification Center immediately at emci@asme.org.  Once an application is properly registered, the status of the application can be monitored through www.engineeringcertification.org using the applicant’s newly-created user name and password.
