Section 288-12-4 - Application for Licensure
1.Form of Application and NCARB Record

An applicant for licensure as an architect shall submit an application on a form provided by the board and any fees required by Chapter 10 of the rules of the Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation.

An applicant shall provide all evidence of satisfying the requirements for licensure to NCARB and direct NCARB to transmit their NCARB record directly to the board. The board reserves the right to require an applicant to submit other information needed to evaluate the application and qualifications for licensure.

An applicant who graduated from a non-accredited program or who earned their degree in a foreign country may be required, at the applicant's expense, to obtain an NCARB Evaluation Report prepared by the Education Evaluation Services for Architects (EESA), which is administered by NAAB, to determine whether the applicant's professional education substantially satisfied the credit hour and area distribution requirements for coursework set forth in the NCARB Education Standard.

2.Completeness

The board will not act on an application until the application is complete. If an applicant does not remedy the deficiencies described by the board within the time designated by the board, the application may be voided and the applicant would need to submit a new application and any required fee to reapply.
