Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 250-5-.06 - Licensure by Endorsement: Funeral Director
(1) The Board may, upon payment of the appropriate fee and without the requirement of taking the national examination, issue a funeral director license to any person licensed as a funeral director by another State territory, or country, or by the District of Columbia. An applicant for licensure as a funeral director by endorsement must pass the Board-approved Jurisprudence Examination on Georgia law regarding funeral directing on or after January 1, 1991, and either:
(a) satisfy the requirements listed in Rule 250-5-.04 above, or
(b) hold a valid funeral director's license in a jurisdiction whose requirements for licensure as a funeral director are substantially equal to the requirements for licensure as a funeral director in Georgia.
(2) No embalmer or funeral director license issued by endorsement may be issued on the basis of another reciprocal or endorsement license.
(3) An applicant who cannot meet the requirements of (1)(a) or (1)(b) in this rule may be issued a license as a funeral director by endorsement upon submission of documentation from an employer attesting that the applicant has been engaged in the active practice of funeral service as a licensed embalmer and funeral director for a minimum of three (3) years immediately preceding the submission of an application for licensure in Georgia, in accordance with the provisions of O.C.G.A. §
43-18-42(a)(2). For the purposes of this rule,"immediately preceding" shall mean that the applicant must submit the appropriate application to the Board office within six (6) months of leaving the state in which he or she has been actively engaged in the active practice of funeral service.
