193B—2.2 (544A,17A) Application by reciprocity. Applicants for registration are required to make application to the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) for a council certificate. A completed state application form (available on the board’s Web site) and a completed council certificate shall be filed in the board office before an application will be considered by the board.
	 2.2(1) Registration requirements. The board or its executive officer may waive examination requirements for applicants who, at the time of application, are registered as architects in a different jurisdiction, where the applicant’s qualifications for registration are substantially equivalent to those required of applicants for initial registration in this state. All such applicants who hold an active NCARB certificate shall be deemed to possess qualifications that are substantially equivalent to those required of applicants for initial registration in this state.
	 2.2(2) The board may refuse to issue a certificate of registration to any person otherwise qualified upon any of the grounds for which a certificate of registration may be revoked or suspended or may otherwise discipline a registrant based upon a suspension, revocation, or other disciplinary action taken by a licensing authority in this or another jurisdiction. For purposes of this subrule, “disciplinary action” includes the voluntary surrender of a registration to resolve a pending disciplinary investigation or proceeding. A certified copy of the record or order of suspension, revocation, voluntary surrender, or other disciplinary action is prima facie evidence of such fact.
