> By virtue of section 20 of the [Mutual Recognition Act 1992](http://www.legislation.gov.au/) of the Commonwealth, a person is entitled to be registered as an architect if the person is registered in another State or a Territory for an equivalent occupation (if that State or Territory participates in the mutual recognition scheme). The entitlement arises once the person lodges a notice under section 19 of that Act and, until registered under this Act, the person is then deemed (by section 25 of that Act) to be registered. See also the [Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997](http://www.legislation.gov.au/) of the Commonwealth.
