BACB Contact Number: The Current Way to Reach the BACB
If you are searching for the BACB contact number, start with the type of problem you need to solve. The current BACB Contact Us page directs ordinary applicant and certificant questions to its Contact Us Form and explains that customer support is provided through the form to protect privacy. It does not present an old public phone number as the default route for general support.
That matters because older newsletters and third-party pages can still display historical telephone numbers. A number that once appeared in a BACB document may no longer be the current customer-service route. This guide shows you where to go for certification questions, exam scheduling, Portal access, application status, regulator inquiries, fax, and mail.

What is the current BACB contact route?
For most applicants and certificants, use the official BACB Contact Us page and select the form topic that matches your question. The form is the current general-support route for certification questions, document issues, account-related verification when needed, and other applicant or certificant inquiries.
Use a different route when the problem belongs to another organization or audience:
- Exam appointment or testing center: follow the BACB and Pearson VUE examination route.
- BACB Portal account or password: use the Portal’s sign-in and password-reset instructions.
- Application processing status: check the current Application Processing Updates page first.
- Regulatory organization: use the BACB For Regulators form.
- Ordinary applicant or certificant question: use the Contact Us Form.
Choose the right contact path
| Your question | Start here | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Certification requirements or a document question | BACB Contact Us Form | Routes applicant and certificant support to the correct topic. |
| Exam appointment, testing site, or scheduling | Pearson VUE BACB testing route | Pearson VUE handles appointment logistics after BACB authorization. |
| Password or Portal access | BACB Portal first | Account actions and password reset require secure account verification. |
| Application processing time | Application Processing Updates | Shows the submission dates currently being reviewed. |
| State or provincial regulation | For Regulators form or the local authority | Regulatory questions are separate from ordinary certification support. |
When to use the BACB Contact Us Form
Use the Contact Us Form for ordinary applicant and certificant inquiries, including a question about a certification requirement, an application document, an account-related issue that needs identity verification, or a published BACB resource. The current page asks users to review the relevant handbook and FAQs first because BACB staff cannot guarantee an application decision or give individualized approval outside the formal review process.
Choose the most specific topic available and describe the issue in one clear message. If you are submitting a document, follow the form’s current file rules and do not send the same material through multiple routes unless the BACB specifically tells you to. Resubmitting documents while waiting for feedback can create delays.
If you are an ACE Provider or have an ACE-related support question, use the ACE resources and the Contact Us route designated for that topic. If your question is about a legal or ethical matter, remember that the BACB page does not provide legal advice; use the applicable ethics resources and consult a qualified professional for legal advice.
Exam scheduling and testing questions
The BACB authorizes candidates, and Pearson VUE handles the appointment process. For a scheduling, rescheduling, cancellation, or testing-center question, start with the current BACB examination information and follow the Pearson VUE BACB testing link. The BACB Contact Us Form is not a substitute for the testing administrator’s appointment system.
For a testing problem or an examination appeal, use the specific BACB route identified in the examination resources. Keep your appointment details, authorization information, and testing date available, but do not publish private account numbers or upload them to a public forum.
Portal, password, and application status
Portal or password problem
Start at the BACB Portal and use the “Forgot your Password?” option if you cannot sign in. The reset process requires access to the email associated with the account. If you no longer have access to that email, the BACB Contact Us route can begin a verification process. The BACB may ask identity questions before changing account access.
Keep your private BACB ID protected. The current BACB guidance distinguishes an account ID from a public certification number. Never paste a password, verification code, or private ID into a public post or send it to an unofficial study website.
Application processing question
Check the Application Processing Updates page before contacting BACB about timing. The page publishes the submission dates currently being reviewed. If your materials are within the published window, a status message may not produce a faster review. If the update page does not answer your issue, use the Contact Us Form and include the relevant application context without duplicating your documents.
Regulatory and secondary contact routes
The For Regulators route is for a board member, agency staff member, or organization pursuing behavior-analyst regulation. It is not the general applicant help desk. If you are a consumer or an applicant, use the route that matches your question instead.
The current Contact Us page also lists a fax number, 1-720-468-4145, and the BACB mailing address in Littleton, Colorado, as further support information. Treat these as secondary official details and check the live Contact Us page before sending anything. The page’s online form is still the best starting point for ordinary support because it directs the request to a topic and protects account information.
What to prepare before contacting BACB
- Write the credential or application track: RBT, BCaBA, BCBA, ACE Provider, or another category.
- Describe one problem per request and state what outcome you need.
- Record the relevant date: application submission, resubmission, examination appointment, or Portal error.
- Use the exact title or URL of the BACB page, form, or handbook section involved.
- Attach only the documents the current form requests; remove unrelated private information.
- Save the confirmation or case information in a secure place.
- Check spam or junk folders if you are waiting for a BACB email.
For track-specific learning after you finish the contact step, use the RBT learning path, BCaBA learning path, or BCBA learning path. ABA Study Online can explain concepts and provide practice, but it is not BACB and cannot answer an account-specific question on BACB’s behalf.
BACB contact FAQ and official links
Does BACB have a current general customer-service phone number? The current Contact Us page directs applicant and certificant inquiries to the Contact Us Form and does not present a general public phone number as the default support route. Avoid relying on older numbers found in historical documents.
Who do I contact about a Pearson VUE appointment? Start with the current BACB examination page and follow the Pearson VUE BACB testing route. Pearson VUE handles appointment logistics after BACB authorization.
What if I cannot access my BACB account email? Use the Contact Us route and follow the identity-verification instructions. Do not create a second account or share your private BACB ID publicly.
Can I contact BACB about application status? Check Application Processing Updates first, then use the Contact Us Form if your issue is not answered. Do not repeatedly resubmit the same documents just to request an update.
Can ABA Study Online give me the BACB’s phone number or resolve my case? No. We can help explain public study and navigation information, but current contact routing and account decisions belong to BACB and its designated partners.
