New Jersey Design Professional Self-Certification Act allows qualified design professionals to self-certify construction plans.

The New Jersey Design Professional Self-Certification Act establishes a program for architects and engineers, certified as "qualified design professionals," to self-certify construction plans. These professionals can take responsibility for construction code compliance and certify that permit applications and documents meet the State Uniform Construction Code and other laws. The Department of Community Affairs will accept these self-certified applications and issue permits within one to five days.
