After creating your user account or logging into the DELPROS online portal, you may begin your application for licensure to take the required exam(s).

When the Board has reviewed and approved your application, you will receive your exam authorization letter stating you have been approved to sit for the requested exam.

  • Click on the titles below in each section to expand the information.

Your application is valid for two years from the date you submit it in DELPROS. You will be required to complete a new online application if your application expires.
