Geologists, Land Surveyors - PLEASE NOTE:
Your application should be submitted 315 days prior to the examination dates to ensure compliance with our time frame rules and to allow adequate time to receive education transcripts and/or references. You must submit the application fee when you send in your application. There is a separate fee for the examination and you will be notified by mail when these fees are due. An application will not be considered complete until all verifying data is received.
If you submit an application after the 315-day mark, every effort will be made to process your application and certify you for the next examination. However, if your application is incomplete, a shorter processing time means we may not be able to certify you for the next examination date.
Students enrolled in a professional degree program who wish to take the in-training exam during their final year may file an application before starting the final year of study. School endorsement may be submitted at any time prior to the examination sign-up deadline established by the appropriate national council.
It is extremely important that you notify us in writing of any address changes prior to the examination.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT EXAMINATIONS
To apply for the Landscape Architect Registration Examination ("L.A.R.E."), candidates should contact the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards ("CLARB") directly and complete a CLARB Council Record. The CLARB application process includes completing the CLARB application form and providing verification of required information such as education and work experience. Once confirmation of your required information is received, CLARB will admit you to the L.A.R.E. and will forward all pre-examination information to you directly.
To apply for the L.A.R.E. through the CLARB Council Record, click here
https://www.clarb.org/
For L.A.R.E. Administration Dates: Contact CLARB:
In addition to serving as the application for the L.A.R.E., the Council Record also provides the documentation that you will need when you apply for licensure in Arizona and in other jurisdictions. This eliminates the need for you to gather this information redundantly. Council Record holders are also entitled to discounts on important examination publications such as the examination handbook, The Road to Licensure and Beyond, including "Understanding the L.A.R.E. and Diagnostic Vignettes".
Once you have completed the L.A.R.E., you may apply for licensure in Arizona. Instruct CLARB to transmit your Council Record to the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration, and follow the instructions for professional licensure application found on this web site. Please Note: Although you may have successfully completed and passed the L.A.R.E., you must still fulfill the education and/or experience requirements of A.R.S § 32-122.01 Qualifications for professional registration.
To download and print out a complete Administration Report and Fee Schedule, go to www.clarb.org/mba/lare_admin_changes.pdf. You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 or higher to access the information (see note on our home page).
