The AIBC maintains a register of current and Former Registrants, which is updated in real-time. This allows the public to search for current AIBC-registered Architects, Intern Architects, Architectural Technologists, Retired Architects, and Firms, and to verify their registration status, employer, location, practice restrictions, and discipline history. For Former Registrants, the public can verify status and discipline history. Former Registrants remain on the register for 10 years after their registration ends. If you can’t find a Registrant in the AIBC register, please send an email to registration@aibc.ca.
Any discipline record prior to 1990 will not appear in the search results. If you are interested in the discipline record of a Registrant prior to 1990, please contact the AIBC’s Professional Conduct Officer at complaints@aibc.ca.
This service is provided to permit you to search for individual AIBC Registrants you may wish to contact on a professional basis or to verify their status. The information is not to be used for any commercial, marketing or fundraising purposes.
