If the applicant holds an out-of-state license in architecture from another state and licensure by endorsement or reciprocity is provided for by law, the applicant shall submit to the board an NCARB (blue cover) certificate as described in Rule §1103(A)supra. Upon finding the NCARB (blue cover) certificate in order and upon payment of a registration fee of $300, the board shall register and issue a license to said individual to practice architecture in this state.
