RESOURCES

Did you know, it is technically illegal to call yourself an Architect in the US if you do not have an active license with both the state you live in and the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB)?

A licensed architect in New York is not necessarily a Licensed Architect in California; they must have a California architecture license as well, if they want to practice in California.

An Architect, licensed to practice outside the United States, is NOT to call themselves an Architect in the US, unless they have met the NCARB and State architectural registration boards requirements and hold an active registration.

Architects carry a tremendous amount of responsibility protecting the health, safety and welfare of the public and if an individual has not fulfilled the requirements, they should not be calling themselves an architect.

Many people have a hard time understanding this, but this is due to the lengthy education, experience and licensing requirements.

Unlicensed individuals may call themselves designers, project managers, job captains or anything else really works, but the word “Architect” or any derivative of the word “Architect” is off limits. Many state architectural registration boards do not allow people to use the term Architectural Designer, unless they are licensed.

State architectural licensing boards regularly take action against unlicensed individuals calling themselves Architects or practicing without a license.

Having an architecture license is not a prerequisite to having a successful career in architecture. Most people graduate Architecture school and have very successful careers without obtaining their license to practice.

Architectural training is an extremely valuable education and can be used effectively inside and outside of the profession.
