Fees:

There is an application fee (see the Fee Schedule for the reciprocal application fees) for registration by reciprocity. If you use the direct application form, you must include the reciprocal application fee when you submit your application.

If you submit your CLARB record as application for reciprocal registration, you will be contacted by TBAE when your record is received. At that time, TBAE will request payment of the reciprocal application fee.

There is a separate fee for initial registration (see the Fee Schedule for the reciprocal registration fees). This fee is due only after you have been tentatively approved for registration. Please do not send this fee until you receive the tentative approval letter.
