What qualifications do I need to meet if I am already licensed?

If you hold an active architect license in good standing in any jurisdiction recognized by NCARB, you can apply for a Washington license if your qualifications and experience meet one of the following:
(1) You have an NCARB certificate. The board recognizes NCARB certification to include certification through the broadly experienced architect and/or broadly experienced foreign architect programs;
(2) You do not have an NCARB certificate, but you have satisfactorily completed the ARE or an examination as approved by the board, including a test component or licensing requirement addressing seismic structure as determined by the board; and
(a) Have been licensed as an architect nine or more years; or
(b) Have an NAAB-degree and have completed IDP.
