Land Surveying Practice Test & Exam Prep | Sri Lanka

Only a licensed surveyor holds a valid annual practicing license allowing them to practice surveying in the public or private sector. A registered surveyor is qualified to perform geodetic control surveys, whereas a licensed surveyor is limited to cadastral plans. There is no legal difference; both terms are used interchangeably under the Survey Act. A registered surveyor works only for the government, while a licensed surveyor must work in private practice.
