To proceed with the endorsement license application, make sure you have the following documents readily available:

1. A completed endorsement application form (available for download on the NCBOS website)
2. Proof of your current status as a Certified Surgical Technician in your home state
3. Verification of your certification through the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA)
4. A copy of your government-issued identification (e.g., driver's license, passport)
5. Any additional documents specified by the NCBOS

Once you have gathered all the necessary documents, it's time to fill out the endorsement application. Ensure that all the required fields are accurately completed and that you've provided all the supporting documentation. Double-check for any errors or omissions to avoid delays in the processing of your application. You can find the application form on the NCBOS website.

After completing the application, carefully review it to ensure its accuracy. Check if any additional fees or supporting documentation are required, and make sure to include them with your submission. Note that the application fee and any additional fees should be paid directly to the NCBOS. Visit their website for information on the accepted payment methods and associated costs.

Once you have submitted your application, it's helpful to monitor its progress.
