Applying for the Uniform CPA ExaminationAll first-time applicants must submit an initial application directly to the Florida Board. To do so, please visit the Florida Board of Accountancy website. You are also advised to read The Candidate Bulletin before submitting your application. Once you obtain approval from the Board, you will receive a Jurisdiction ID number. You may then apply online to take the examination, or contact CPA Examination Services at 800-CPA-EXAM or 615-880-4250 to apply.
NOTICE: You are considered a “first-time applicant” once you have been found eligible per Florida Board requirements and have contacted CPA Examination Services and registered for the examination. After this process, you are then considered a “re-exam” candidate regardless of the previous section(s) applied for, and are subject to the re-examination registration and examination fees. You may register online via credit card. To apply for the CPA Examination online, you will be asked to create a user account upon your first usage of our online application tool. If you’ve previously applied for the CPA Examination outside of our online application tool (via paper application or other method), you will need to import your previous application information. To do this, you will need to know the jurisdiction in which you sat for the examination as a first-time candidate, and your Jurisdiction ID Number. If you need your Jurisdiction ID number, click here. Registering for a user account will allow you to apply for the exam, maintain your current information, view your scores, check your application status and reprint your Notice(s) To Schedule.
