The Usual Steps Leading to Architectural Registration

(1) Registration by Examination:

• Professional degree from NAAB-accredited program
• Completion of the Intern Development Program (IDP)
• Completion of the Architectural Registration Examination
• Completion of the Jurisprudence Exam (JE) and Oral Interview

(2) Registration by Reciprocity:

• If you already hold an active architectural registration from another state, you may apply for an Oregon license by reciprocity.

Applications for reciprocity are available on NCARB's website, located at http://www.ncarb.org/

NOTE: The Jurisprudence Examination is required for registration whether an individual is applying by reciprocity or examination. The Jurisprudence Examination is given in conjunction with regularly scheduled Board meetings and is held at a variety of locations. For upcoming Jurisprudence Examination dates and locations, please contact the Board office.
