Frequently Asked Questions

If I pass all divisions of the ARE, does that mean I am certified by NCARB?

No. If you wish to become certified by NCARB, you must apply for the NCARB Certificate after you have received your initial license. Your jurisdictional board will not notify NCARB. For more information on the certification process, contact NCARB’s Records Department at 202/879-0520. You can also get more information or request an application by visiting the Certification & Reciprocity section of the NCARB’s web site.
