There are two different ways you can become registered in Alabama. They are as follows:

Examination:
An individual who holds a first professional degree in architecture from a NAAB accredited university, completes the NCARB Architectural Experience Program (AXP) and passes all divisions of the Architect Registration Exam (ARE) may apply for a license as a registered architect in Alabama.

Reciprocity:
An individual who is a registered architect in another state and holds an NCARB (National Council of Architectural Registration Boards) certificate may then apply to be registered in the state of Alabama.
NCARB can be contacted at www.ncarb.org for information on the AXP Program, the ARE; and NCARB Certificate information.
