For the purpose of this rule, regulatory authority means an
Oregon health professional regulatory board as defined in ORS
676.160, a regulatory authority
in Oregon or another state or a regulatory authority in another country or
territory.
(1) An authorization
holder may request the Office to send an affidavit of licensure to another
regulatory authority or individual. The following must be submitted to the
Office:
(a) An application on a form
prescribed by the Office;
(b) Two
forms of identification listed in OAR
331-030-0000 (8); at least one must be
photographic;
(c) Photocopies of
identification listed in subsection (b) of this section must be submitted with
the application if request is made through the mail; the photocopy must be
legible; and
(d) The Office may
require that an applicant present additional proof of identity pursuant to OAR
331-030-0000 (9).
(2)
Unless otherwise notified by the Office, an applicant applying for an
authorization from a program under the Office's authority must arrange for the
regulatory authority from which an affidavit of licensure is needed to forward
directly to the Office a current and original "Affidavit of Licensure" signed
by an authorized representative of the regulatory authority and affixed with an
official seal or stamp to the affidavit of licensure. The applicant is
responsible for payment of any fee the regulatory authority may assess for
producing the affidavit of licensure.
(3) The Office may verify an applicant's
authorization to practice and determine an applicant's qualifications and
fitness to practice in a program administered by the Office by the following:
(a) An affidavit of licensure may be obtained
by accessing the regulatory authority's website by using an online verification
system. The Office may assess an applicant a fee for obtaining affidavit of
licensure.
(b) An affidavit of
licensure may be electronically transmitted to the Office from the regulatory
authority. The applicant is responsible for payment of any fee the originating
regulatory authority may assess for producing the affidavit of licensure.
(4) An affidavit of
licensure document hand delivered or mailed by the applicant and not mailed
directly or transmitted through an approved means to the Office from the
regulatory authority will invalidate qualification for authorization to
practice, scheduling, and examination.
NOTE: The Affidavit of Licensure may be referred
to as a "Verification of Licensure," "License Verification," "Certification of
Licensure," or "License Certification" by other regulatory authorities. All
terms have the same purpose in disclosing an applicant's licensing status and
history.
