Architectural Experience Program™ (AXP™)
Welcome to the Architectural Experience Program (AXP) webpage. This page is designed to provide a framework to guide you through gaining and recording your professional experience. Developed by NCARB, the program is required by most U.S. jurisdictions and is a key step on the path to earning a license.
Through the AXP, you'll learn how to safely and competently handle the scenarios you’ll face as an architect. With broad experience areas that reflect the phases of practice, the program prepares you for everything from site design to project management. CLICK HERE for more information about the AXP.
When you're ready, visit the Architect's Registration Exam (ARE) webpage for more information on taking, and passing, the ARE exam.

You will need an active NCARB Record to participate in the Architectural Experience Program (AXP), take the Architect Registration Examination (ARE), have your Record transmitted to an architectural registration board for initial or reciprocal registration, and apply for and maintain an NCARB Certificate.
We work to keep our costs low for licensure candidates beginning their professional careers — which is why the fees for some programs and services increase after initial licensure.
- Application fee for licensure candidates:$100
Covers your initial application for an NCARB Record, maintains your active Record for one year, and includes one free Record transmittal to support your application for initial registration.
- Application fee for registered architects: $1,100
If you are already licensed in a U.S. jurisdiction, but have never held an NCARB Record, this application fee will cover the costs of evaluating your credentials for the NCARB Certificate. If you are approved for certification within 12 months of your application, your renewal date will be extended one year at no extra cost.
Please note: If you are registered in a country other than the United States, contact our Customer Relations team at (202) 879-0520 to get details on the application process.
- Annual renewal fee for licensure candidates:$85
Maintains your active Record for one year.
- Annual renewal fee for registered architects:$225
Maintains your active Record for one year.
- Lapsed Record
- Licensure candidate: $85annual renewal fee for each year or partial year lapsed, up to $185 (the cost of the application plus one annual renewal).
- Architect: $250 plus the cost of all outstanding annual renewal fees, up to $1,100
- Transmittal: $400
Includes one transmittal of your NCARB Record to a U.S., Canadian, or other foreign architectural registration authority.
- Paper processing fee: $20
Covers the additional cost of renewing your NCARB Record via paper form. To avoid this charge, renew your Record online through My NCARB.
