Upgrade Step 2 - Application Paperwork

Following the review of your educational transcripts, the official credential application and corresponding paperwork will be emailed to you.  You will be able to complete the application electronically, using Docusign.  You can use the payment portal below to pay the application and background check fee of $125.

Note: If you are applying to upgrade from Certified to Licensed within 18 months of receiving your certified credential certificate, we will waive the background check fee, and you only need to pay $100.

We will email you reference forms.  These should be emailed or mailed to your references, and they should be sent directly from the person giving the reference to our office.
