Pursuant to RCW
18.08.400, the board will recommend to the director that the director grant a certificate of registration to a currently registered architect in any jurisdiction recognized by NCARB provided:
(1) That such applicant presents evidence that the applicant has satisfactorily completed an examination equivalent to the examination required of Washington state registrants.
(2) Documentation of NCARB certification may be accepted by the board as satisfactory evidence that the applicant's qualifications and experience are equivalent to the qualifications and experience required of a person registered under RCW
18.08.350. Reciprocity candidates who cannot meet the IDP training requirement must have a minimum of two years of experience as a licensed architect.
(3) That the applicant provides a typed summary of chapter
18.08 RCW and chapter
308-12 WAC. The summary must be of sufficient detail to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the law and rules.
(4) That the board will require an oral interview of any candidate for registration by reciprocity, except that the oral interview may be set aside in cases where documentary or other evidence shows sufficient information for the board to reach judgment.
(5) That the architect's current state license is not delinquent or inactive. The current state license cannot be under suspension, disciplinary restrictions, or in process of disciplinary review. Reciprocity applicants are held to the same qualifications as initial applicants for registration.
