About the L.A.R.E. Exams

The Landscape Architect Registration Examination (L.A.R.E.) is a crucial step towards becoming licensed as a Professional Landscape Architect. The four-part exam evaluates your skills, knowledge, and abilities to ensure the protection of public health, safety, and welfare.

The Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards (aka CLARB) writes, administers, and grades the LARE. If you have any questions regarding the LARE process or procedures, contact CLARB at [email protected].

Licensure and L.A.R.E. eligibility requirements vary by state. Before you register for the exam, check your state's specific rules. 

For example:

  • Some states require pre-approval before candidates with accredited degrees can sit for the exam.
  • Some states set time limits for completing all exam sections after you take your first one.


What to do:

Review CLARB's licensure requirements map and exam eligibility map. If you have questions about your education or experience, contact your state licensing board directly.
