The individual states engineering boards will tell your friend that he is incorrect and that out of state firms do require a COA for out of state firms.

Subject: Hey, I got a friend...
...who works for a company that does engineering for clients in multiple states from a single office. Friend is of the opinion that company should have certificates of authority (aka "Firm Registration") in each state for which they provide sealed engineering documents.
Company disagrees, says CA required only for state in which they have their office. It's like business license fee.
Thoughts?
