Section 041-21-1 - General Eligibility; Application for All License Types
Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024
A person applying for a practice license shall, in addition to the requirements set forth under Title 32, chapter 126, establish basic eligibility for licensure by submitting the information and documentation described below, together with the fee required by chapter 10, section 5(8) of the rules of the Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation, "Establishment of License Fees," and such other information as the Director may require:
1. The name, date of birth, contact address, telephone number and email address of the applicant;
2. A list of all jurisdictions in which the applicant holds or has ever held a license to practice as of the date of application, together with the license number and license expiration date; and
3. Pass the two-part practice-appropriate license examination. The two-part examination consists of the NIC National Written Examination and the NIC National Practical Examination. A written and/or practice examination created and administered by another licensing jurisdiction may be considered if that examination is deemed by the Director to be comparable to the current NIC examination requirement for Maine applicants for licensure. An applicant applying by endorsement shall be subject to the Maine required two-part examination.
An applicant who fails an examination may retake the examination at a subsequent sitting. However, an applicant who fails to pass all examinations within one (1) year from the first sitting shall retake the written and the practical examinations.
