Ensure, promote, and improve
Welcome to the website of the Architects Register. We are a public-law autonomous administrative body that implements the Dutch Architects’ Title Act (WAT). We also manage the architects register. It includes over 14,000 interior architects, architects, landscape architects, and urbanists. So when we talk about 'architect', we mean one of these professional titles.
An architect is uniquely capable of connecting past, present, future, diverse interests, and ambitions, and envisioning solutions. Solutions that are balanced, add quality, and appeal. In doing so, the architect plays an important role in safeguarding and improving the spatial quality of our living environment.
Whether you are already registered, want to register, are looking for an architect, or want information on how to become an architect; you will find all the information on this website.
Legal titles may only be used professionally by individuals who are registered in the Architects Register.

Developing a future curriculum for spatial designers
On behalf of the Architects’ Register, the Commissie Eindtermen examines and evaluates the criteria and learning outcomes of the regulations derived from the Architects’ Title Act, and assesses how these align with professional practice.
The aim is for this to lead to a proposal in 2026 for a possible update and revision of the aforementioned learning outcomes.
