Iowa Admin. Code r. 650-11.9 - [Rescinded effective 4/9/2025] Registration by verification
Registration by verification is available in accordance with the following:
(1)
Eligibility. A dental assistant may seek registration by
verification if the person is currently licensed or registered as a dental
assistant 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 for registration.
b. Payment of the application fee.
c. A verification form, completed by the
licensing authority in the jurisdiction that issued the applicant's license or
registration, verifying that the applicant's license or registration in that
jurisdiction complies with the requirements of Iowa Code section
272C.12. The completed
verification form must be sent directly from the licensing authority to the
board.
d. Evidence of successful
completion of a board-approved jurisprudence examination with a grade of at
least 75 percent.
e. Copies of
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 registration nor deny the application for registration until
the matter is resolved. A person who has had a license or registration revoked,
or who has voluntarily surrendered a license or registration, in another
jurisdiction is ineligible for registration by verification.
(4)
Applicants with pending
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 registration nor deny the application for registration until
the complaint, allegation, or investigation is resolved.
(5)
Temporary registrations.
Applicants who satisfy all requirements for a registration under this rule
except for passing the jurisprudence examination may be issued a temporary
registration in accordance with the following:
a. A temporary registration is valid for a
period of three months.
b. A
temporary registration may be renewed once for an additional period of three
months if the applicant has not failed the jurisprudence examination.
c. A temporary registrant shall display the
board-issued registration renewal card that indicates the registration is a
temporary registration, which will satisfy the requirements in rule
650-10.2 (147,153).
d. The temporary registrant must submit proof
of passing the jurisprudence examination before the temporary registration
expires. When the temporary registrant submits proof of passing the
jurisprudence examination, the temporary registration will convert to a
standard registration and be assigned an expiration date consistent with
standard registrations.
e. If the
temporary registrant does not submit proof of passing the jurisprudence
examination prior to the expiration of the temporary registration, the
temporary registrant must cease practice until a standard registration is
issued.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 272C.12.
