A license not renewed after Board notice is considered terminated; reinstatement requires a reinstatement application, fees, CE completion, and 24 CE hours (the reinstatement fee may be waived if the architect proves no practice during the unlicensed period). The Board may deny a license, reprimand, fine, suspend, or revoke for fraud, negligence, incompetence, misconduct, or violation of the Act/regulations. Practicing architecture without a license is a misdemeanor: fine up to $5,000, imprisonment up to 1 year, or both.Verify with board

How compliance is checked

Board reviews CE compliance through the CPC reporting process; random audits of LUs each license term; licensees keep records at least 2 years.
