Who qualifies for registration?

The extended deadline applies to all Bénin-based and diaspora civil engineers holding recognized qualifications, including:

• State-recognized engineering degrees

• Equivalent diplomas in relevant fields

The registration process covers multiple specializations, such as:

• Building and public works
• Geotechnical engineering
• Transport infrastructure

Why the extension?

Minister Georges Alé emphasized the importance of this measure in ensuring a smooth transition toward establishing the first official roll of the Ordre national des ingénieurs civils du Bénin.
