Visit the IPTC website and review the criteria for licensure to confirm your eligibility. You can find the IPTC website [here](https://www.in.gov/pla/pt.htm).
Step 2: Complete the Application

Step 3: Submit Required Documents
Along with the application, you'll need to submit certain documents to the IPLA. These may include your proof of education, copies of previous licenses, and verification of any disciplinary actions taken against your license in other states. Make sure to carefully review the document requirements outlined on the IPLA website to ensure a smooth application process.
Step 4: Pay the Required Fees
To complete the endorsement license procedure, you'll need to pay the necessary fees. The IPLA website provides information on the current fee structure and payment options. You can find the fee details [here](https://www.in.gov/pla/pt/2358.htm).
