. First time LARE candidates will need to download the Landscape Architect Application (321 KB) and the appropriate registration forms for the administration of the exam that you wish to take. All applicants (for licensure or the LARE) must also submit five (5) professional references, three (3) of which must be registered landscape architects (in any state) and a certified copy of your college transcripts. If you have a CLARB Council Record, please contact the council office and have them send us a copy of your record.
