Hi, I currently live in Chicago. I have paid part of the Ncarb record fee to establish my record and begin the exams. However, I notice I need to establish it in a specific state. I don't see myself staying in Chicago for more than a few years. I would likely move to California in the next 2-3 yrs. My question: If I pay the remainder of my fee in Illinois, take some of the exams, then move, will my record still be valid in another state? Would I need to re establish it and take exams again? Thanks for any help
Your record will still be there, and you'll still have passed those exams, but you will need to pay a fee to CA ($100) and fill out their form to be eligible to sit for exams in CA (and take the supplementary CA exam). If you tell NCARB you're moving, they should do the rest. Also I've had good luck simply calling them and asking for advice, they have always been quite candid.
