How Long Does it Take to Become NCARB Certified?

It depends. The typical timeline for recently licensed architects appears to be about six months. Some take longer due to NCARB’s workload, paperwork SNAFU’s, and other factors. A few are able to become certified in about a month. The factors speeding up certification appear to be: 1. A current Council Record with fees up to date. 2. Seeking Certification immediately after initial licensure. 3. A proactive state board. 4. Location in a state that requires certification for reciprocity. 5. Prompt attention to the matter by the recently licensed architect.
