Once we receive your request, we will send you instructions on how to submit the following documentation:

an original-source verification (e.g., transcript[s], official statement with course/module grades/marks issued directly by the academic institution) in the original language;
an English translation of the original-source verification;
an official copy of your diploma (i.e., official documentation attesting completion of program and award of degree) from your university in the original language; AND
an English translation of your official diploma.

Note: If you received your degree from a university in Cuba, official, signed transcript(s) must be submitted directly from Consultoría Jurídica Internacional (CJI) or Bufete de Servicios Especializados (BES).

Please do not submit your documentation until we have provided further instructions. Do not submit your original diploma or other irreplaceable documentation. Documents submitted to the BACB become property of the BACB and will not be returned to the applicant.

For questions or concerns related to scheduling examinations and testing sites, please visit Pearson VUE's BACB Certification Testing page. For testing issues, please visit the BACB's Administrative Appeals page.

Please do not submit transcripts before you have submitted your application. Official transcripts can be mailed to the BACB in the original, sealed envelope at the address listed to the right. Please note that documents mailed to the BACB cannot be returned to you. Electronic transcripts must be submitted directly to the BACB from your school. They can be sent via Parchment or be emailed to the BACB (you can ask for the email address by submitting a question for your certification you're pursuing under the topic "Applying for Certification"). Non-english transcripts must include English translations.

If you are submitting a transcript under a maiden name or different name than the one associated with your BACB account, please let us know by submitting a question under the BACB Account topic.

The BACB has two means of allowing contact with certificants: the certificant registry and the mass email service. 

The certificant registry is free resource that consumers, licensing authorities, and employers can use to verify certification status, and it not allowed to be for commercial purposes (including but not limited to sale of products, sending surveys, soliciting employment, and sending information about educational or professional programs). For more information, please visit the Terms of Use page. To use the registry, please click the Verify a Certificant button to the right. 

The mass email service is a pay-to-use service that allows 3rd parties related to the behavior analysis industry to deliver commercial-use messages to certificants who have opted into the service. Customers of the service can choose their audience by certification, location, and type of message, but the list will be blind (customers will have an estimated size of their audience based on their segment choices, but they will not have access to the list or the email addresses within it). For more information on the mass email service, please use the button to the left. 

The BACB does not distribute certificant email addresses under any circumstances.

For all questions or document submissions related to ethics, please visit the BACB's ethics webpage and use the various forms there, which will ensure you follow the appropriate steps for your situation. Please Note: The BACB cannot provide ethics-related or legal advice under any circumstances. There are a number of resources available for anyone seeking guidance related to ethics in Ethics Resources. 

U.S. residents of states that regulate the practice of behavior analysis may contact their state disciplinary boards. For more information about regulation in the U.S., the Association of Professional Behavior Analysts (APBA) has a resource page on licensure and regulation.

Whenever possible, we encourage, but do not require you to consult with a behavior analyst who specializes in the matter before filing aa Notice of Alleged Violation. For ethics-related or legal advice, please consult with a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction. For additional guidance on ethics-related matters, please see our BACB Ethical Guidance section.
