Disclaimer: This map represents the ASPRS best effort at determining current State licensing requirements for photogrammetry and related remote sensing services. This map is not a definitive interpretation of State laws or requirements. It is intended as a resource to assist photogrammetric mapping and remote sensing professionals in determining what those specific requirements may be.
For the purposes of this map, at a minimum, photogrammetric mapping services are
defined as topographic mapping depicting the authoritative location of features
or terrain using photogrammetry or related remote sensing technologies. Some states have a much broader
definition of photogrammetric mapping to include GIS and similar services. Before providing geospatial mapping
services in any State, practitioners must check with the appropriate State Board
to make a final determination of which licensing requirements apply to the
specific type of work that will be performed
