If you have received an e-mail from NCIDQ indicating that registration is open, follow these steps:
- Log on to MyNCIDQ.
- If you do not know your username and/or password, use the password recovery link. Do NOT register as a first-time user. A MyNCIDQ account currently exists for you. Please call 202-721-0220 if you need additional assistance.
- If you applied through your state board or provincial association, please contact them for MyNCIDQ access assistance.
- Once you have logged on to MyNCIDQ successfully, verify your personal information. NCIDQ is not responsible for misdirected or unopened postal mail or e-mail.
- Click on the Exam Registration or Deferral link located under “Exam Candidate” on the left side.
- Complete the Candidate Agreement form. You must complete this before you can register.
- Once you have completed and accepted both candidate agreements, re-click the Exam Registration or Deferral link.
- Select the Registration Form.
- You must either register for the exam or defer registering until the next administration in order to remain an active exam candidate.
- Once you have completed the appropriate form, click “Proceed” to move to the payment screen.
- Select the method of payment. You may pay the registration fee by credit card or by mailed check.
- NCIDQ accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
- Please note: Mailed checks require additional time to receive and process. Checks received by NCIDQ after the late registration deadline will not be processed and registration will not be complete. If you are paying by check, please review the specific instructions in the Registration Guide.
- Click “Proceed” ONLY ONCE. Allow a minute or two for the system to process your payment.
- Once your form has been submitted you will receive an e-mail confirmation.
- You will receive a second e-mail notification once your payment has been processed and approved. Please note: You are not registered until you receive the second processed payment notification e-mail. Pending registrations do not qualify as completed registrations.
When your registration form and payment are processed, you will receive an e-mail confirmation. Your registration is not complete until payment has been rendered. Therefore, if you pay by check, please allow enough time for NCIDQ to receive and process your payment. If you miss the initial registration deadline, you may register by the late registration deadline for a fee of $125 (US). The late registration deadline is at least four weeks before the exam date. After the late deadline, registrations cannot be added or changed. View the Exam Dates & Deadlines Schedule for the current registration deadlines.
