Application Checklist: Your Roadmap to Success
Before you dive into the application process, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of the requirements and steps involved. Here's a detailed checklist to help you stay on track:
- Completed Application: Applications can be submitted online at MyLicense.IN.gov.
- Application Fee of $50.00: This fee is paid online during the application process and is nonrefundable.
- Criminal Background Check: Ensure you have this completed as part of your application.
- Positive Response Documentation: If you answer "Yes" to any questions on the application, provide a detailed statement and supporting documents.
- Name Change Documentation: If your name differs from that on any of your documents, provide legal documentation such as a marriage certificate or divorce decree.
- Official Transcripts: Upload an official transcript from the university where you obtained your degree, showing all graduation requirements met and the date conferred.
- Verification of Licensure (if applicable): If you hold a license in another state, provide verification from the state of issuance.
Exam Approval and Official Score Report
Once all documentation is reviewed and approved, you'll receive exam approval if you haven't taken the national exam. Here are the steps:
- Examination Approval: You must take the examination within one calendar year from the date of initial Board approval. If not, you'll need to submit a new application.
- Official Score Report: After completing the ASWB Master level examination, results will be sent to the office the following week. If you pass, your license will be issued. If you fail, you'll receive notification and instructions on how to reapply.
