How to Apply for the Uniform CPA Examination

Please visit the Illinois Board of Examiners website for more information.

Transcripts

If you have completed educational requirements at accredited institutions outside the U.S:

• NASBA International Evaluation Services (NIES) is the only acceptable evaluation service for international transcripts. There are no exceptions.
• You must request a course-by-course evaluation for the purpose of taking the CPA Exam in Maryland. Any other evaluation will be denied.
• Education from schools located outside the U.S. with U.S. regional accreditation must be evaluated by NIES.

Payment Coupon

This service allows you to pay the Exam fees via a NASBA Payment Coupon. The NASBA Payment Coupon is sent to you via the contact preference as indicated on your application/registration. If you have not received a NASBA Payment Coupon, you cannot pay the Exam fees via this service.

You need your Payment Coupon and credit card to proceed.

You should receive your Notice to Schedule (NTS) within four business days of paying your Exam fee. If you do not receive your NTS, call a NASBA Candidate Service Associate at 1-866-MY-NASBA or [email protected].

You will not be able to schedule an Exam appointment or take the Exam without a valid NTS.
