### Streamline Your Path to Architecture Licensure

Becoming a licensed architect is a significant professional milestone that requires careful documentation, exam completion, and verification of experience. Our **Licensed Architect Application** template simplifies this complex process by bringing together NCARB record completion, work experience verification, and ARE exam division registration into one comprehensive, professional form.

#### Why Paperform for Architecture Licensure Applications?

Architecture licensing boards, professional associations, and state regulatory bodies need a reliable way to collect detailed application information while maintaining compliance and professionalism. Traditional paper-based applications or disconnected PDF forms create administrative bottlenecks, make verification difficult, and lead to incomplete submissions.

Paperform's architect licensure application template provides a structured, user-friendly experience that guides candidates through every requirement—from personal information and educational credentials to detailed work experience logs and exam registrations. The form's conditional logic ensures applicants only see relevant questions based on their specific pathway and jurisdiction.

#### Built for Architecture Professionals and Licensing Boards

This template is specifically designed for:

 - **State architecture licensing boards** processing initial licensure applications
 - **Architecture firms** helping employees track licensure progress
 - **Professional architecture associations** managing member certifications
 - **NCARB coordinators** collecting record information
 - **Reciprocal licensure programs** across multiple jurisdictions
 - **Continuing education providers** verifying credentials

#### Key Features That Save Time and Reduce Errors

**Comprehensive Information Capture**: The form collects all essential elements including personal details, NCARB record numbers, educational background from NAAB-accredited programs, detailed work experience under licensed architects, and ARE exam division status—all in one submission.

**Work Experience Documentation**: Dedicated sections allow candidates to document their internship hours across different experience categories, supervisor information, and project descriptions that align with IDP/AXP requirements.

**Exam Division Tracking**: Clear fields for recording which ARE divisions have been completed, dates passed, and which divisions the applicant wishes to register for, streamlining the exam coordination process.

**Conditional Logic for Multiple Pathways**: The form adapts based on whether candidates are applying through standard NCARB pathways, reciprocal agreements, or alternative routes, showing only relevant questions for their situation.

**File Upload for Supporting Documents**: Applicants can attach transcripts, NCARB certificates, work verification letters, and other required documentation directly within the form, eliminating follow-up emails and lost paperwork.

#### Automate Your Licensure Workflow with Stepper

Take your architecture licensure process beyond data collection with **[Stepper](https://stepper.io)**, Paperform's AI-native workflow automation platform. When an application is submitted, Stepper can:

This automation means licensing coordinators spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on substantive application review, while candidates receive faster communication and clearer status updates.

#### Professional, Compliant, and Accessible

Architecture licensure involves sensitive professional information and must meet strict regulatory standards. This Paperform template is built on a **SOC 2 Type II compliant platform** with enterprise-grade security, ensuring applicant data is protected throughout the submission and review process.

The form is fully responsive and accessible, allowing candidates to complete their applications on any device.
