NCARB and the Committee of Canadian Architectural
Councils (CCAC) have signed an agreement that provides for the reciprocal
registration of architects who are practicing in a jurisdiction
that has signed a Letter of Undertaking. This Letter of Undertaking
provides for the acceptance of the conditions of the NCARB/CCAC
Agreement and also permits the jurisdiction/province to stipulate
any special requirements, such as demonstration of knowledge of
local laws, seismic forces, personal interview, or other unique
requirements that all applicants for registration must meet.
Architects holding NCARB certification who are registered in and
have their principal place of practice in a jurisdiction that has
signed the Letter of Undertaking may transmit their NCARB Certificate
Record to a jurisdiction/province provided that that jurisdiction
has also signed the Letter of Undertaking.
If you would like NCARB to transmit your Certificate
Record to a U.S. or Canadian jurisdiction, use the request
for transmittal form.
Some jurisdictions have special provisions. See notes below.
Both your home jurisdiction/province and the jurisdiction/province
you want reciprocal registration in must be on the list below:
