Registrant Resources

As set in the AIBC Bylaws, fees must be paid by February 1. The fees are determined annually by the AIBC Board and published in Schedule B: Fees, found in the AIBC Bylaws.

More information, including payment instructions, is available on the the 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 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.

More information is available in Schedule N: Fee Waiver Administrative Guidelines, found in the AIBC Bylaws (PDF), and the Fee Waiver Application Form.

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 Registration Cancellation: Retired Architect, Intern Architect, or Architectural Technologist AIBC (PDF) and email it to the Registration and Licensing Department at registration@aibc.ca.
