Registrant Resources

Retired Architects AIBC are required to pay annual fees. Fees are determined annually by the AIBC Council and provided in Bulletin 1: Fees, Fines and Charges. See Recognition of Long-Standing Registration accordion below to determine if you are eligible for a fee waiver.

As set in the Architects Act, February 1 is the annual deadline for renewal of registration and payment of fees. Find detailed information, including payment instructions, on the AIBC’s Annual Renewal page.

In recognition of long-standing registrants’ ongoing commitment to the Institute, in 2017 the AIBC began offering an annual renewal waiver to Retired Architects AIBC with a cumulative, combined 40 years of AIBC registration (as an Architect AIBC and Retired Architect AIBC).

If you are eligible for the fee waiver, the AIBC will contact you annually (via email) to confirm you wish to continue receiving the waiver for your Retired Architect AIBC status. You must confirm your waiver every year.

In the event of financial hardship, family leave and/or medical disability, you can apply to the AIBC for a reduction or full waiver of your annual renewal fees. This may permit you to retain your registration and meet your professional responsibilities for a period of time without requiring you to resign due to personal circumstances and have to later seek reinstatement.

Further information, including the application form, is available in Bulletin 3: Waiver or Reduction of Annual Renewal Fee (PDF).

It is your professional responsibility to keep your records up to date with us. You can update your contact information at any time by logging in to the AIBC’s secure registrant site.

Every summer, the AIBC also sends a mid-year reminder to registrants to review and update their information.

If you would like to resign, please review your options in Bulletin 5: Resignation of Registration (PDF). To proceed with your resignation from the AIBC please complete the Resignation, Retirement Request – Associates (PDF) and email it to the Registration and Licensing Department at registration@aibc.ca.
