(for NCARB Council Record Holders)
The Architect Registration Examination (ARE) is offered year-round
at a network of computer-based test centers. When applying
for admission to the ARE, please follow these important steps:
Contact Your Registration Board
In order for you to understand all applicable requirements
and procedures, it is important that you contact the architectural
registration board in the jurisdiction where you plan to register
as an architect. The address and phone number of each registration
board is available here.
You should inform the registration board
that NCARB will be submitting your Council Record in support
of your application to take the exam. The registration board
will give you specific requirements and exam fees. Please
note that NCARB will not transmit your Council Record until
you have met all of the board’s eligibility requirements.
Request Transmittal of Your Council Record
When you have satisfied your registration board's eligibility
requirements and have paid the balance of your Council Record
compilation fee*, NCARB will request written authorization
to transmit your Record (see sample below). This authorization
may be submitted directly from our
web site. Transmittal authorizations cannot be submitted
until requested by NCARB.
Transmittals are made on a strict date-order basis within 30 business days of receipt of the transmittal authorization. This policy will be strictly enforced. Incomplete or incorrectly completed forms will result in delays.
If you wish to have additional information transmitted
to the same jurisdiction (after the initial transmittal),
NCARB will do so upon your written authorization. If you
require a second complete transmittal to another state,
we will charge
the regular $300 transmittal fee.
*This fee varies, depending on the amount
paid when the Council Record was established and whether the
transmittal is made within 12 months of establishing the Record.
