Licensee Query

CAB licenses individual architects, not firms or corporations. California architect licenses expire on the last day of the licensee's birth month in each odd-numbered year and must be renewed every two years.

To obtain information on an individual licensee, the Board has provided a database file which will allow you to search by name, city, county and/or license number. Input as little as necessary to generate your request. Unlicensed individuals or architects whose licenses are delinquent, expired, suspended, or revoked are not listed in this database.

The information is computer-generated and subject to change as new licenses are issued; licenses become delinquent; delinquent licenses are renewed; licenses expire or are revoked or suspended; or as name and address changes are filed with the Board.

For the most current license information, you may telephone (916) 574-7220 or send an e-mail with your request to cab@dca.ca.gov, and provide the name(s) and any additional information regarding the individual. A response will be transmitted to you within 3-5 business days of your inquiry. Please be aware that public information for licensees is restricted to license number, name, address of record, and license issue and expiration dates. Telephone numbers are not provided.

If you would also like to receive any available complaint history information on a licensee of CAB or an unlicensed person, please include that request for information in your e-mail.
