To become licensed by reciprocity

2. Hold a current license to practice architecture in another state.

All applicants must apply on forms provided by the Board and pay the application fee of $190.

A Certificate of Registration from this Board issued to an architect entitles that person to assume the title of "Architect" and practice the profession of architecture in South Carolina. Practice in any other manner, such as a firm, business corporation, partnership, etc., requires additional registration.
