KNOW YOUR REQUIREMENTS AND COLLECT YOUR DOCUMENTS

1. Know the requirements for the license you are pursuing.
   • For more information on the requirements for licensure, refer to your profession’s License Law and Rules and Regulations.
2. Request and gather all documents required to upload on the Attachments page. All information and forms are located on your profession’s webpages.

ATTACHING AND ACKNOWLEDGING DOCUMENTS

On the ATTACHMENTS page of your application, you may be instructed to:

• either “attach” or “upload” the required document(s) directly to your application. This means you will find the document(s) saved on your computer or device and upload it to your application.

• click “acknowledge” . This means you will either have to mail the documents yourself or request the “third-party” mail the document(s) directly to the Board office.
  • Examples of “third-party forms” are transcripts from schools, employment verifications from a supervisor, and license verifications from another state.
• Forms requiring a supervisor signature, seal, or notary may have to be MAILED to the Board office directly UNLESS the document specifically indicates to UPLOAD the document.

The requirements for this license type are provided in the following section(s).

Requirements for All Applicants

• An official transcript sent directly from your chiropractic college. The college must be accredited and the transcript must show the date that you have earned a degree of Doctor of Chiropractic degree.

• A State of Delaware and Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal background check (CBC). Go to the Criminal Background Check Process page to find the Service Code required to obtain a State of Delaware and Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal background check. Once you have your Service Code, you will be directed to the IdentoGO website for instructions to complete the fingerprinting process.
  • Criminal background checks completed for any other purpose (e.g., employment, licensure in other states) will not meet this requirement.

• State/Jurisdiction Licensure Verification(s) sent directly to the Board office from each state or jurisdiction in which you currently hold or have ever held a license.

• If examinations were available when you graduated from chiropractic college, request an official score report from the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) and have it sent directly from NBCE to the Board office.

• • For information on the score requirements, see the Score Requirements section below.
• If no examinations were available when you graduated from chiropractic college, arrange for the Board office to receive a Verification of Chiropractic Practice form(s) verifying that you actively practiced in another jurisdiction for the five years before filing an application with the Delaware Board.
  • A licensed chiropractor or other professional peer must complete the form, sign it in front of a notary and submit it directly to the board office.
  • Do not submit this form if examinations were available when you graduated.

• Request a self-query from the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB). The self-query report will be mailed to your address. When you receive the report, mail (do not fax) the original report to the Board office.

Score Requirement

Unless no examinations were available when you graduated from a chiropractic school, you must meet one of the following score requirements:

• If you do not hold a current license in any other jurisdiction, your NCBE score trancript must show that you passed all parts of the National Examination.

• If you hold a current license in another jurisdiction, the score requirement that you must meet depends on whether you are currently licensed in any jurisdiction where the licensure requirements are substantially similar to those in Delaware. The table below shows which jurisdictions have substantially similar requirements and which do not:

• If you are currently licensed in any jurisdiction with substantially similar licensure requirements , your NCBE score transcript must show that you passed all parts of the National Examination.

• If you are currently licensed only in jurisdictions that do not have substantially similar licensure requirements, the score requirement depends on when you graduated from an accredited or Board-approved chiropractic college, as shown in this table.

• If you do not meet the requirements based on your graduation date in the table above, submit proof of passing the examinations that were available at the time you graduated and applied for original licensure and the Board will make its determination on eligiblity.
