National Council of ArchitecturG'l
Registration Boards
The National Council of Architectural
Registration Boards was established in 1920
to assist member boards in carrying out their
duties,foster the enactment of uniform architectural
laws, develop examinations and
establish standards for certification requirements
in education and training, to perfect
its procedures for verifying the qualifications
of applicants and determining their eligibility
for certification and establish and maintain
reciprocal registration between states
having registration laws.
The NCARB is a non-profit corporation with
all legally constituted boards of architecture
in the United States as members, including
the North Carolina Board of Architecture. To
be eligible for NCARB certification, architects
must submit satisfactory evidence that they
comply with the standard for education,
training,examination and character and have
been registered by a member board.
The NCARB will, upon request of an individual
architect, secure, authenticate, and record
factual data of the applicant's education,
training, practice and character. This record
will be forwarded to any state board upon
request of the applicant.
Certification shall be given to an applicant
holding a council record verifying that the
applicant has complied with the council's
standards of education, training, practice and
character; and that the applicant has passed
an examination conforming to the council's
standards of content, extent and length of
time.
Certification by the NCARB is recommendation
to all registration authorities that registration
be granted to the holder without further
examination. Most board members
accept NCARB certification as conclusive evidence
of an architect's eligibility of registration.
lt is, howevel not a national registration.
