REG Foundation for Professional Registration: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how architects can gain professional title protection and recognition through the REG Foundation registration process.
This scheme allows architects to register their professional credentials to gain official recognition of their competence and title.
Who it's for
This registration is designed for architects working in the field. To qualify for entry into the register, you must hold a recognized university degree and have the necessary professional experience.
What you get
By completing the registration, you receive official protection of your professional title (Berufstitel). This process serves as a formal way to receive recognition of your professional competence, providing a verified standard of your skills and qualifications to clients and colleagues.
What it costs you
Registering involves paying an application fee, the current amount of which should be verified on the official website. To complete your application, you will need to provide formal documentation, including proof of your university degree and a portfolio of your professional projects.
The catch to know
It is important to note that this is a private-law register rather than a mandatory state license. While it is not a legal requirement to be listed, being part of the register is highly valued, especially when participating in public tenders.
