If you wish to initiate an NCARB Council Record, you must obtain an application from the Council office (NCARB; 1801 K Street, NW, Suite 1100-K; Washington, DC 20006) or from www.ncarb.org/forms. Upon receipt of your completed application and application fee, the following steps are taken to compile your Council Record:

• NCARB will acknowledge your application and send transcript request forms and employment verification/IDP training unit report forms to you.

• You prepare and send the forms to identified schools and employers. Each form is completed and returned directly to NCARB from the school or employer.

• You can monitor your Council Record through the "My Council Record" section of the NCARB web site. Inquiries concerning outstanding items should be directed to the NCARB Customer Service Division at customerservice@ncarb.org or 202/879-0520.

• Upon receipt of all requested information, NCARB will conduct a preliminary evaluation of your qualifications against the NCARB Education and Training Requirements. You will be directed to submit employment verification/IDP training reports until the Training Requirement has been satisfied.

The time required to establish an NCARB Council Record varies considerably, depending on the number of items requested and the timely receipt of each item. Most Council Records take between 12 and 16 weeks to establish.
