CPA Exam Application

Be sure to read the Instructions for Application before completing the online Exam Application. 

Request each school attended send an official transcript directly to our office via mail or secure server.  Send in a clear color copy of your government issued identification and fill out the online application.

Allow 4 weeks after all documentation has been received for processing.  You will be contacted via e-mail if additional documents are needed.  Once your application has been approved you will receive your Notice to Schedule (NTS) via e- mail from NASBA.  After you receive your NTS, go to the   Prometric website to schedule your test.

If you took classes outside the U.S. you will need to order a Comprehensive Evaluation from a foreign transcript evaluation service.

If you answer ‘yes’ to the question concerning being accused of a felony e-mail us a statement detailing what happened and have the court send us documentation verifying the charge (dispensation).

If you have passed one or more sections of the test under another state’s jurisdiction you will need to complete the Interstate Exchange of Examination and Licensure Information Form in addition to the initial Exam Application.

For more information, including the Candidate Bulletin and practice tests, visit the AICPA Exam page or the NASBA Exam page.
