Iowa Admin. Code r. 645-19.1 - Licensure by verification
Licensure by verification is available in accordance with the following:
(1)
Eligibility. A person may seek licensure by verification if
the person is licensed in at least one other jurisdiction that has a scope of
practice substantially similar to that of Iowa.
(2)
Board application. The
applicant must submit the following:
a. A
completed application.
b. Payment
of the application fee.
c.
Completed fingerprint cards and a signed waiver form to facilitate a national
criminal history background check, if required for initial licensure by the
board.
d. An attestation that the
applicant's license in that jurisdiction complies with the requirements of Iowa
Code section 272C.12.
e. A copy of the complete criminal record if
the applicant has a criminal history.
f. A copy of the relevant disciplinary
documents if another jurisdiction has taken disciplinary action against the
applicant.
g. A written statement
from the applicant detailing the scope of practice in the other
state.
h. Copies of relevant laws
setting forth the scope of practice in the other state.
(3)
Applicants with prior
discipline. If another jurisdiction has taken disciplinary action
against an applicant, the board will determine whether the cause for the
disciplinary action has been corrected and the matter has been resolved. If the
board determines the disciplinary matter has not been resolved, the board will
neither issue a license nor deny the application for licensure until the matter
is resolved. A person who has had a license revoked, or who has voluntarily
surrendered a license, in another jurisdiction is ineligible for licensure by
verification.
(4)
Applicants with pending licensing complaints or
investigations. If an applicant is currently the subject of a
complaint, allegation, or investigation relating to unprofessional conduct
pending before any regulating entity in another jurisdiction, the board will
neither issue a license nor deny the application for licensure until the
complaint, allegation, or investigation is resolved.
(5)
Compact privileges. A
person who has a privilege to practice in Iowa by virtue of an interstate
licensure compact is ineligible for licensure by verification. Licenses issued
pursuant to this rule do not grant privileges to practice in any other
jurisdiction pursuant to any interstate licensure compact.
