After registration

Once you have successfully registered, there are a number of things you need to do to maintain your registration.  One of these is to pay an annual retention fee, for which we send you an invoice.  When we have received your payment, we will send you a registration card or certificate to indicate that you have paid your fee and you are entitled to call yourself an architect for the forthcoming year.  These are sent automatically once your payment is received.  There is more information about the retention fee available by using the link on the sub-menu for this section.

If your business contact details change (address, email, phone number) you can let us know by letter, fax or email.  We can't take this information over the telephone.  You could also use our secure Registrants' Services section of the website.  The website is available 24 hours a day, which means that you update your details at a time that is convenient to you.  You’ll need your registration number and password to enter the site.  If you have forgotten or lost your password, just go to Registrants’ Services and you can reset it online.

We will automatically supply you with a card, unless you let us know that you would prefer a certificate. There is a £5 charge if you would like both a card and a certificate.  We also charge £5 for replacements if the originals are lost.

Now that you are on the Register, you can sign up to receive news releases and PCC decisions.  If you have supplied us with an email address, you will automatically receive electronic copies of our regular eBulletin and annual report.

Should you have any queries about any aspect of your registration, please call us on 020 7580 5861, or email registrationdepartment@arb.org.uk
