The AIBC Annual Renewal cycle is underway, with the Firm Update being completed on September 30, and Fee Billing coming up in a few weeks. Below are some important updates and reminders about the Annual Renewal Cycle:
Annual Fee Invoicing, View Invoices in Registrant Portal (New)
2026 Annual Renewal invoices will be available to Registrants starting the end of November, into early December.
New this year: Registrants will be able to view and print their invoices and receipts directly through the Registrant Portal. Invoices will also continue to be sent by email, as in previous years. Please note that online payments must still be made through the AIBC website, and all other existing payment options remain available.
In preparation for invoicing, Registrants are being asked to review and update their information in the Registrant Portal. Registrants need to ensure the following is accurate:
- Basic personal contact details, including primary phone number, cell phone and email.
- Current employment contact details, including work phone number and email.
- Administrative email (to receive regulatory notices including annual renewals)
Status Changes and Voluntary Cancellation of Registration (Resignation)
Registrants in Good Standing who submit an application to voluntarily cancel their registration (resign) should use the appropriate Form (based on Registrant category), all of which can be found on the AIBC website. If you wish to change registration status or resign, you will need to submit the application Form well in advance of the February 1 deadline and allow sufficient time for all required material to be received by the AIBC in order avoid paying the 2026 Annual Renewal fee. For example, Architects who are resigning must return their seals and Firm Registrants that hold Certificates of Practice (CoP) must return their CoP, among other requirements. Please note that the resignation date is confirmed by AIBC staff and will correspond with the date that all the required material is received.
