dear Riha you do not need to pass the architecture registration exams (A.R.E) to practice architecture. However if you do take the test and pass all nine divisions it will give you the authority to stamp and sign contract documents and this also means a higher pay. I will also like to add that depending in the state that you are a degree from an accredited program (NAAB) may be required plus completion of your intern developement program (IDP).
If you like to work all that you need to do is put up a portfolio
pd: for more information contact the national council for architecture registration board (NCARB)http://www.ncarb.org/ |

Riha you are thinking to far ahead it is good to have that goal (being registered) but unless you where previously licensed in your country you will have to start somewhere. If you where licensed from your country you may try to ask for reciprocity however I have never heard of someone getting a state registration from another country by means of reciprocity. The best advice I can give you is contact NCARB and also your local AIA chapter.

you need to give more information about your background "resume" or CV to have a better idea of your position |

sometimes the only reason for being licensed seems to be so you can be sued |

Anyone can be sued. The AIA should clean up it's act.
Experience is the best test. The weak ones fall.

One doesn't only need a license to get sued in this business...

| yes, anyone can get sued in the US. But it does not necessarily mean it would be a successful case. Clients of non-registrants faces limited options while pursuing litigation. They can sue for misrepresentation or fraud, but overall, non-registrants are not held accountable for their actions. The Court sees them as not knowing any better since they are not legally recognized to perform the duties as an architect. So clients really have no ground to sue a non-registrant for bad work. |

What are the duties of an architect? as defined by US law?
I'm all for registry of some things. Keep folks in order. or maybe not. Archtects make things, right?

what happened to this thread?
why is there an image of what it seems to be a racist depiction of a mexican?
Does anybody ever wonder if there are ways to purchase insurance for our practice?
Has anyone ever opened the AIA handbook of professional practice and read through ways of protecting the practice?
I think its quite naive to believe that architecture is defined by "Thompson Prometric / The Chauncey Group" (the group that I last saw manage the ARE)
