Registrant Resources

Find the key information and forms you need to maintain or resign your registration as a Retired Architect AIBC.

For AIBC application fees, see Bulletin 1: Fees, Fines and Charges.

Annual Fees

Annual Fees for Retired Architects AIBC

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.

Recognition of Long-Standing Registration

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.

Apply for a Waiver or Reduction of Annual Renewal Fee

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).
