What the Missouri data shows for Land Surveyors

Missouri sets the entry bar for land surveyors at board-approved training and a passing score on a state-approved exam. The credential is administered under Missouri's licensing regime, which classifies the training track as "Experience/Apprenticeship".

The initial price tag is $150 every 2 years. There's no continuing-education mandate tied to this profession in Missouri, which keeps the long-run cost of staying licensed lighter than in CE-heavy states.

Missouri handles out-of-state credentials on a case-by-case basis instead of a standing reciprocity list.
