Application Process

It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application and all required documents and fees to the Board.

1. Complete and submit the Application for Licensure as a Landscape Architect along with the application fee.
2. Request CLARB to transmit your council record to the Nebraska board.

Upon receipt of the above, your application will be reviewed. If you have a certified CLARB Record, and there are no issues (i.e. disciplinary actions) that the Board must review first, you may be issued a conditional license by the Board's administrator pending formal Board approval. All other applicants must go to the Board for its review and approval prior to the license being issued.

• A licensee may begin practicing upon issuance of a conditional license.
• A conditional license may be withdrawn by the Board if it determines the applicant does not qualify for licensure for any reason.
  • If this occurs, the conditional license expires at 11:59 pm on the date the licensee is notified of such Board action.

• A new Application for Licensure as a Landscape Architect and applicable fee;
• Documentation of having obtained the required professional development hours as set forth in Chapter 6 of the Board's Rules during the previous two-year period; including a log showing the type of activities claimed and attendance verification records;
• A Reinstatement Affidavit;
• Evidence of meeting the current licensing requirements as outlined in Chapter 3 or Chapter 4 of the Board's Rules.

All applications will go to the Board for review and final action. Once, approved, the original license number will be reinstated.

For your convenience, a list of companies who can assist you in obtaining your seal is available on the Links of Interest page.
