(1) The board shall grant a temporary courtesy license to practice chiropractic without examination to a "nonresident military spouse" as defined in section 324.008.1, RSMo, who provides the board the following:

(A) A completed application form;

(B) A non-refundable application fee, as established by 20 CSR 2070-2.090, made payable to the board;

(E) Verification sent directly to the board office from each state, district, or territory of the United States in which the applicant has ever been licensed verifying:
1. The status of the applicant's license and, when licensed in that jurisdiction, if there were any complaints and/or disciplinary action on the license;

2. The applicant has not committed an act in any jurisdiction where the applicant holds or held a license that would have constituted grounds for the refusal, suspension, or revocation of a license or certificate to practice at the time the act was committed; and

(F) Submission of fingerprints to the Missouri State Highway Patrol's approved vendor for both a Missouri State Highway Patrol and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) fingerprint criminal history background check. Any fees due for fingerprint background checks shall be paid by the applicant directly to the fingerprint vendor or as otherwise set out in the board's rules;

(G) If the board is unable initially to determine if the licensing requirements of the state, district, or territory in which the applicant is currently licensed are equivalent to Missouri's licensing requirements, the applicant shall, upon request, submit documentation as necessary to assist the board in determining whether such other jurisdiction's licensing requirements are equivalent to the licensing requirements of this state;

(H) Proof of satisfactory completion of the jurisprudence examination regarding the laws and rules of the State of Missouri related to the applicant's profession;

(I) Such additional information as the board may request to determine eligibility for a temporary courtesy license pursuant to the provisions of 20 CSR 2070-2.040(3).
