Reciprocity Transfers
Easily transfer your approved IC&RC credential to or from Arizona through ABCAC. We ensure full alignment with IC&RC reciprocity standards and international member boards.
Transferring to Arizona
- You must already hold an IC&RC-recognized credential from your current certifying board.
- Initiate the transfer with your current board — they will contact ABCAC to begin the reciprocity process.
- ABCAC reviews your credential and notifies you once your transfer is approved.
- If it's been more than 4 weeks without an update, contact both your original board and IC&RC.
Fee: $150, due upon approval.
