	Initial applications must be completed by applicants who have never applied to take the Uniform CPA Examination in Arizona or in any other jurisdiction. The cost to apply is $100 which is payable to the Arizona State Board of Accountancy. Please allow 45 - 60 days for processing of application. Helpful Hints - DO NOT include fees payable to NASBA for each exam section. NASBA will send a payment coupon to you for the exam section fee(s) after issuance of the Authorization to Test (ATT) by the Board. Helpful Hints – Candidates who have applied to sit for the Uniform CPA Examination in another jurisdiction can continue to reapply through that jurisdiction to complete the exam even though they have relocated to Arizona because they can sit at any Prometric testing center.

Cancellation Form
	If you need to make a change before the Authorization to Test (ATT) has been submitted to NASBA (also referred to as your application being uplinked to NASBA), you can change the section(s) you want to take by submitting the change in writing via email, fax, or regular mail. Please note that regardless of the method used, the form of communication must clearly identify the requestor. If you need to make a change after the ATT has been submitted to NASBA, you will forfeit your application fee and need to do the following three things. First, do not make payment on the payment coupon to NASBA. Second, submit the application cancellation form. Finally, submit your re-exam application and your $50 fee for the correct section(s).
