Section 6100-11.0 - Reciprocity
Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024
11.1 An applicant for licensure by reciprocity shall submit an electronic application or through the Division of Professional Regulation, pay the required fee, and request that verifications of licensure or letters of good standing to be sent to the Board from the licensing agencies of all jurisdictions where the applicant is or has been licensed.
11.2 If the reciprocal state's requirements are not substantially similar to those of this State, as determined by the Board, the applicant shall submit proof of practice for at least 5 years after licensure. Proof of practice requires an employer's notarized affidavit describing the nature of the applicant's experience. If an applicant cannot obtain a notarized affidavit from the employer, the applicant must submit a letter explaining why the experience affidavit cannot be obtained, and W-2 forms or other tax documents showing 5 years full time employment may be substituted at the discretion of the Board.
11.3 Determination of Substantial Similarity of Licensing Standards. The applicant must submit to the Board a copy of the reciprocal state's current statute and rules and regulations pertaining to licensure requirements. The burden of proof is upon the applicant to demonstrate that the statute and rules of the licensing state are at least equivalent to the experience and examination requirements of this State. Based upon the information presented, the Board shall make a determination regarding whether the licensing requirements of the applicant's licensing state are substantially similar to those of Delaware.
