Temporary license as a cadastral surveyor

Applications are now closed.

Cadastral surveyors measure property signs, make sign descriptions and register signs in the property register.

Cadastral surveyors must have attended a course and passed an exam to be granted a license to work as a cadastral surveyor.

The 5-year licensing process has not begun. It is therefore possible to apply for a temporary license as a cadastral surveyor from HMS if certain conditions are met. A course (online distance learning) will run this summer and into the autumn for those who receive a temporary license.

A provisional license must be applied for by October 1, 2024.

A provisional license is valid until the licensee has attended a course and received a license, but not longer than until June 1, 2025.

Requirements

You must meet one or both of the following work experience requirements:

  • You have worked for a municipality or other public entity in the establishment and registration of real estate

  • You have worked in preparing boundary descriptions and other documents for the demarcation of real estate
