You could ask them to present their portfolio then you can check their previous clients and verify with them if the information they provided is true.

Most "architect" now, simply cut design elements out of a catalog and paste them together to make a new design. Unless you are looking for some sort of standard cookie cutter design, you will want to find someone who can actually imagine a design and draw it accurately. Those are hard to find. The only suggestion I have is to do a lot of research so you know enough to discern when they are FOS and interview them extensively. Not some rote set of pre-written questions, but sit down with them and have a discussion about architecture. What do they like/dislike about being an architect. What are their goals in designing a house. What design are they most proud of?
