When applying for licensure, applicants must answer five questions related to criminal history and prior professional license discipline. There are different questions for first-time applicants and returning/renewal applicants. First-time applicants must disclose all convictions, diversion programs, and professional license discipline no matter how long ago it occurred. Returning and renewal applicants are required to disclose any new criminal offenses or professional license discipline that has occurred since the last time they applied. The Professional Conduct FAQs and the CORE Applicant User Manual provide more detailed instructions for answering the application legal questions. Applicants should also plan to complete any background check requirements before or at the same time they apply since getting the full background check results can take up to 60 days or more.
