What qualifications do I need to meet if I am already licensed?
(1) 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:
(a) 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;
(b) You do not have an NCARB certificate, but you have satisfactorily completed the ARE or an examination as approved by the board and:
(i) Have been licensed as an architect eight or more years; or
(ii) Have met the educational and experience requirements of WAC 308-12-025, and have completed the AXP.
(2) If your architect license is from a jurisdiction not recognized by NCARB, you will need to apply for initial licensure as described in WAC 308-12-028.
