Engineers Board of Kenya

The Engineers Identification Card - Introduction

The Engineers Rules 2019, Rule No 10 (1), requires the Board to issue engineers with an Identification Card. The need for an identification card arose from the realization that there was no mechanism for engineers to easily identify themselves to the public or relevant authorities especially when providing services outside an office environment.

EBK Identification Card

Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK) has therefore partnered with the National Bank of Kenya (NBK) to generate Smart Cards (Visa Cards) which are customized to suit the requirements of the Board but also to offer additional conveniences to engineers.
