Section 4.03 - Restricted and Prohibited Uses of Professional Titles
Universal Citation: 231 MA Code of Regs 231.4
Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024
(1) Neither the title "Architect" or any modification of said title shall be affixed or otherwise used in conjunction with any surname, word or business title when such use would imply that an individual, associate, partner or corporate officer is an architect when, in fact, such individual, associate, partner, or corporate officer is not a registered architect. An individual shall not be deemed to have violated 231 CMR 4.03 if he or she uses the title "Intern-architect", as long as he or she is enrolled, active and in good standing in, the NCARB Intern-architect Development Program (IDP).
(2)
(a) Any person engaging in the practice of
architecture in the Commonwealth under any business title other than the real
name or real names of a registered architect or registered architects, whether
individually, or as an association, partnership, or corporation, shall file in
the office of the Board a certificate stating the full name and residence of
each person engaging in such practice, the place, including street and number,
where, and title under which it is conducted. A person who has filed such a
certificate shall, upon his discontinuing, retiring or withdrawing from such
practice, or in the case of a change of residence of such person or of the
location where the practice is conducted, file in the office of the Board a
notarized statement under oath that he has discontinued, retired or withdrawn
from such practice or of such change of his residence or the location of such
practice. In the case of the death of such person, such statement may be filed
by the executor or administrator of his estate.
(b) The Board shall keep a suitable index of
all certificates so filed with it, setting forth the pertinent facts, including
a reference to any statement of discontinuance, retirement or withdrawal from,
or the change of location of such practice, or the change of residence of such
person.
