Hi all,

I am currently licensed in Arizona and looking to start a job in the near future in CA. I am trying to find out if I am legally allowed to use my CPA designation on business cards and emails while I wait the CBA processing of a CA CPA license. If so do I need to add something like CPA (AZ) after to designate out of state?

I have tried to find information about this on the CBA website, but only seem to find information regarding firms practicing in CA. I appreciate the assistance!

You may be able to use the designation under CA Practice Privilege rules. As long as you work for a firm registered in the state you should be fine, you just can't start your own practice and use CPA. I've posted a few links below.
