What the New Hampshire data shows for Land Surveyors

New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire's licensing regime, which classifies the training track as "Experience/Apprenticeship".

Budget $150 to get started on a 2-year cycle. Continuing education is not a listed requirement for this profession in New Hampshire, so the annualized maintenance burden is lower than in states that mandate ongoing hours.

New Hampshire evaluates out-of-state credentials case-by-case rather than through a published reciprocity list.
