Once licensure candidates have completed the Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®) and Architectural Experience Program® (AXP®), NCARB will review each candidate's NCARB Record thoroughly and send it to their jurisdiction. This process may take up to 15 days. If additional information is required, this process may be delayed.
Candidates will receive an email notification once their Record has been sent to their jurisdiction's board.
The flowchart below includes additional steps candidates may need to take to complete the licensure process.
