How to register for the engineer examination in Beijing

Registration and payment are done online, while the materials are reviewed during the exam

V. Application Procedures Applicants should determine whether they meet the application requirements by considering their own circumstances in light of the specified criteria. Those who meet the application requirements must obtain approval from their respective employers before registering through the Beijing Personnel Examination Website. 　　(1) For this exam, online registration and online payment are required. Applicants must hold an online payment card from China Merchants Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, or China Construction Bank. 　　(II) The procedures are as follows: 1. Applicants must log in to the Beijing Personnel Examination Website (website address: www.bjpta.gov.cn, the same hereafter) from May 21, 2008, to June 10, 2008, to fill out and submit the \"Application Form for the National Qualification Examination for Registered Engineers in Surveying and Design\" (hereinafter referred to as the \"Application Form\") ； 　　 2. Upload one recent bareheaded photo of yourself at 2 inches (34mm×45mm) as required ； 　　 3. Print the ‘Application Form’ on A4 paper, and attach a recent 2-inch (34mm×45mm) bareheaded photo of the applicant using the same background at the designated spot. The ‘Application Form’ must be reviewed and stamped by the personnel (cadre) department of the applicant’s employer ； 　　 4. Pay the application fee directly through the online payment cards of China Merchants Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, or China Construction Bank; the entire registration process is completed only after the payment is confirmed successful. 　　(III) Candidates who have successfully completed the registration and payment procedures must log in to the Beijing Personnel Examination Website from September 16 to September 18, 2008, to download and print their admission tickets. They must present these admission tickets along with an original form of identification (ID card, driver’s license, military ID, passport) at the specified time and place to take the exam. 　　(IV) All candidates who have passed all the “professional examination” tests must submit the Application Form along with the original documents proving they meet the relevant application requirements; only those who pass the reevaluation will be granted the corresponding qualification certificates. The test scores of those who do not meet the application requirements will be invalid. This is the application process in Beijing; it seems that there is no need for any verification until the exam takes place, with verification only occurring when applying after passing the \"professional exam\". I’m not sure if this is indeed the case, so I would appreciate guidance from those who have taken the preliminary exam. Also, what information needs to be filled in on the application form? Since I don’t work in Beijing, but local application requirements stipulate that one’s employer must have design qualifications, I’m considering applying in Beijing. Could you please advise me on how to do this?
