Making an application
Before you start, you will need an ICE membership number. If you don’t already have one, please create a non-member account by registering with
MyICE. This will enable you to make payments online and access information on our website tailored to your particular interests. You will find your membership number within “My Profile” in your
MyICE account.
You can submit an application at any time. We will process your application within one month and confirm if your application is complete and ready for assessment. If there is any missing information we will tell you and will not proceed with the assessment until it has been received.
The assessment itself may then take up to four months. During this time
your name will be published on the
ICE website in accordance with Bylaw 15 for 28 days, to notify others of your application for membership.
All applications for recognition are assessed for admission by ICE’s Exemption & Recognition Panel, who are qualified Members and experienced ICE Reviewers.
Once your application has been assessed, you will receive a decision letter by email from the Panel. If your application is successful you will be approved for membership and admitted following payment of your
subscription fees. Providing you select the tick-box on the application form, if you are successful your name will be published as a newly qualified member on the
ICE website and subsequently on the
New Civil Engineer website.
If your application is not successful we will explain why, and you may be invited to attend an interview at a mutually convenient date and time. If you are ultimately unsuccessful and wish to appeal, you should follow our
Appeals guidance.
