Visit the official DSPS website to familiarize yourself with the qualifications and documents needed.
Step 2: Gather Documents and Information
To proceed with the endorsement process, you'll need to gather essential documents such as your current Occupational Therapy license, transcripts from your educational program, verification of your original license, and any other relevant certifications or qualifications. Make sure you have all the necessary information readily available.
Step 3: Complete the Application
Next, visit the DSPS website and access their online application portal. Fill out the endorsement application form accurately, providing the required personal and professional details. Pay attention to any additional documentation or fees that may be required.
Step 4: Submit Supporting Documents
In addition to your completed application, you'll need to submit all the necessary supporting documents. This typically includes your current license, transcripts, verification of your original license, and possibly other certifications. Ensure that all documents are properly notarized and meet the specified guidelines.
Step 5: Await Response and Verification
After submitting your application and supporting documents, the DSPS will review your materials. This process usually takes several weeks. Monitor your email and check the DSPS website for any updates or correspondence regarding your application status.
