24 August 2026

Find out more about BOA's new online application Portal.

BOA Portal

The Board of Architects ("the Board") is pleased to announce the launch of its new BOA Portal (opens in new tab), which will serve as the primary platform for all applications, submissions and transactions with the Board. The following sets out the key dates and matters that all registered architects and firms should take note of. 

Verification and Update of Particulars

All registered architects and architectural firms are invited to log in to the new BOA Portal between now till 30 September 2026 to verify and update their registered particulars. This is an important step to ensure that the Board's records are accurate and up to date.    

Registered particulars may be accessed by clicking on the profile icon on the top right-hand corner of the page after logging in.

Administrative charges will be waived for updates made during this period. For updates that would ordinarily require payment of administrative charges, please click to proceed with the payment. The payment page will be skipped during the waiver period.

Applications for Practising Certificates (Year 2027)    

The application window for the Practicing Certificates for the year 2027 will open on 1 November 2026. All applications for Practising Certificates are to be submitted through the new BOA Portal.

Registered architects are reminded that the annual deadline for submission is 1 December 2026. Applications received after this date will be subject to a late payment fee.      

For guidance on using the new Portal, please refer the following instructional guides:

Applications for Licences by Licensed Corporations and Limited Liability Partnerships 

With effect from 1 January 2027, all applications for licences by Licensed Corporations ("LCs") and Licensed Limited Liability Partnerships ("LLPs") are to be submitted via the new BOA Portal. This will apply to all LCs and LLPs whose licences are expiring from 1 February 2027 onwards.    

Applicants are reminded that in accordance with the Architects Rules, applications for the renewal of licences must be submitted at least one month before the expiry date of the existing licence. Firms are advised to plan ahead and ensure timely submission through the Portal.   

Other Applications  

The Board will progressively roll out other features on the new BOA Portal in the coming months. The Board looks forward to bringing greater convenience and efficiency to the profession through these enhancements.  

Should you have any queries, please contact the Board's secretariat at boa_enquiry@boa.gov.sg.
