Section 041-21-4 - Applicant for Licensure by Endorsement
Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024
1. With a Valid License
Submit evidence of a valid license issued by another licensing jurisdiction and the requirements outlined in section 1 of this chapter.
2. Without a Valid License
For purposes of an applicant applying by endorsement without a valid license, the applicant shall be subject to licensure requirements in accordance with 32 M.R.S. §14231. The applicant shall submit requirements outlined in sections 1 and 2 of this chapter.
An applicant with less than the required course hours for the practice license being sought in Maine may substitute verifiable licensed practice work experience. Experience considered must have been obtained within the immediate prior four (4) years from the date of application to balance school course hours that were less than the required school course hours to balance the number of hours required for a trainee in the same practice area. Evidence of active practice shall be submitted in the form of a W-2 form that specifically states that the occupation subject to the W-2 report is the practice for which the applicant is applying for, or other records acceptable to the Director.
[Example: For a person applying for a Maine cosmetology license using course hours obtained in a licensed school in another State or jurisdiction, and the course of study was 1,000 hours of schooling, the applicant may substitute a minimum of 1,500 hours of licensed practice work experience to balance the number of accepted training hours of 2,500 hours similar to the training requirements for a trainee.]
