Notice
South Carolina Requires Firm Registration
Pursuant to Section 40-3-270 of the South Carolina Architectural Registration Law, firms engaged in the practice of architecture must register with this Board. Only an architect practicing in his or her own name (who does not employ another architect) is exempt from this requirement. For example, John Doe, Architect, would not be required to register as a firm. However, John Doe, Architects, or John Doe Associates, or Doe Associates or similar firm names would be required to register as an architectural firm.
To license your company, see firm instructions and applications.
