Chapter 671 - Architects; Landscape Professions and Business
Section 671.020 - Registration requirement; consulting architects; foreign architects; rules; use of title; stamp; use of name.

(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, a consulting architect may engage in the practice of architecture if the consulting architect:
(a) Is affiliated with an Oregon-registered architect who is in responsible charge of all aspects of the architectural services provided; and
(b) Uses the designation of "Consulting Architect, in consultation with," followed by the name of the Oregon-registered architect described in paragraph (a) of this subsection and the name of the architectural firm.
(3) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, a foreign architect may engage in the practice of architecture if:
(a) The foreign architect is affiliated with an Oregon-registered architect who is in responsible charge of all aspects of the architectural services provided;
(b) The foreign architect uses the designation of "Foreign Architect, in consultation with," followed by the name of the Oregon-registered architect described in paragraph (a) of this subsection and the name of the architectural firm; and
(c) The board determines that the jurisdiction in which the foreign architect is licensed or registered has adequate education and training standards. The board, by rule, may recognize agreements between a national certification organization and the foreign jurisdiction as proof of education and training standards.
(4) A person may not practice or attempt to practice the profession of architecture, or assume the title of "Architect," "Consulting Architect" or "Foreign Architect," or use in connection with the business of the person any words, letters or figures indicating the title of "Architect," "Consulting Architect" or "Foreign Architect" without first complying with ORS 671.010 to 671.220.
(5) Every registered architect shall, upon registration, obtain a stamp of the design authorized by the board. All drawings and the title page of all specifications intended for use as construction documents in the practice of architecture must bear the stamp of a registered architect and be signed by the architect. The stamp and signature constitute certification that the architect has exercised the requisite professional judgment about and made the decisions upon all matters embodied within those construction documents, that the documents were prepared either by the architect or under the direct control and supervision of the architect and that the architect accepts responsibility for the documents.
(6) Except as provided in ORS 671.041, an architect registered under ORS 671.010 to 671.220 may pursue the practice of architecture only under the architect’s own name as that name appears in the certificate of registration.
