Transfer to non-practising

Apply for non practising registration

If you have retired from practice or are not likely to be practising as an architect for the foreseeable future you may apply to transfer to the non practising category by completing online form 07 and providing the required supporting documentation. The Registrar will review your application to determine your eligibility to transfer.

To apply for this category you must previously have been on the NSW Register of Architects in the practising category.
 Non practising registration allows you to continue to use the title ‘architect’, but not to provide architectural services.
