In its purest sense, architecture is a profession without boundaries. Take away an architect's mobility and you take away one of the hallmarks of the field. With "reciprocity," a registered architect in one jurisdiction can apply for registration in another jurisdiction by presenting documentation (or having NCARB process and present documentation) that he/she meets that jurisdiction's registration requirements.

To request a transmittal of your NCARB Council Record to a particular jurisdiction in the U.S. or Canada, see the Record Services Log-on page.

Both registration boards and NCARB play important roles when overseeing the reciprocity process.
