2. The issuance of a certificate of registration or license by the board shall be evidence that the individual named therein is entitled to all the rights and privileges of a professional engineer or a professional land surveyor, as the case may be, as long as the certificate or license remains unrevoked, unexpired, or unaffected by other discipline imposed by the board.
