New NASBA CPA Portal Registration Program

SHARE:

The National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) is implementing a new program for CPA Exam candidates to access information related to the Uniform CPA Examination (CPA Exam).

NASBA is introducing a new program to manage NASBA web applications. This means CPA Exam candidates will be able to conveniently access all NASBA applications through a single, secure homepage, which is known as the NASBA Application Dashboard.

This new program will be implemented Tuesday, May 31, 2022, and on this day, each candidate will be required to create an account to access the NASBA Application Dashboard. Once logged into the Dashboard, candidates will have access to their NASBA Candidate Account, which going forward will be called the CPA Portal.

To start the registration process, click/tap on this link, https://dashboard.nasba.org/, or select the normal links used to access your account on nasba.org. The registration process does not start until May 31.

After you have created and successfully activated your NASBA Dashboard account, you will then need to click on the ‘CPA Portal’ button on your Dashboard. This is where you will need to match your NASBA Dashboard account to your existing exam application. The information entered during this matching process must exactly match the information submitted on your exam application.

Please see the tips below to help with matching to your NASBA Dashboard CPA Portal account:

Email Address: The email address you provided to your jurisdiction.
Jurisdiction Candidate ID: Please be sure to use your Jurisdiction Candidate ID, and not your National Candidate ID. Jurisdiction IDs should be entered without the leading zeros, unless you are an applicant of Texas or Maryland. Texas candidates will typically have 9 leading zeros.

After successfully matching, you will receive an email with a Verify link. If the link in your email is not a clickable link, it is because your email provider has deemed it unsafe (this is typical with Gmail users). Please add ‘noreply@nasba.org’ to your Gmail Contacts PRIOR TO beginning the matching process, so that they will not go to spam/be marked as unsafe, the activation link in the email should work.
