Engineering practice in Kenya is regulated by the Engineers Board of Kenya. EBK is mandated under section 6 of the Engineers Act 2011 to register engineers and engineering consulting firms, regulate professional engineering services, set engineering standards and develop the general practice of engineering.

Engineers should start with the official EBK online services platform, which allows users to apply for services and pay using mobile money. (Engineers Board of Kenya eCitizen Portal)

No. A foreign registered engineer should not assume automatic permission to practise in Kenya. The engineer should follow EBK processes and verify any temporary or foreign professional registration requirements.

Yes. EBK’s mandate includes the registration of engineering consulting firms. Firms should therefore verify firm-level registration requirements separately from individual engineer registration. (Engineers Board of Kenya eCitizen Portal)

A Kenyan engineer should prepare proof of EBK registration, current practising status where applicable, proof of good standing, academic certificates, professional experience records, CPD evidence where required, identification documents and any host-country application forms.

The MRA route should normally be treated as a pathway for professionally registered engineers. Graduate engineers should first follow the domestic pathway to professional registration before relying on cross-border recognition.
