Step 1: Verify Eligibility
Before beginning the endorsement license process in Hawaii, it is important to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements. Visit the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) Professional and Vocational Licensing website [https://cca.hawaii.gov/pvl/] to review the eligibility criteria for Radiation Therapists. Ensure you have completed the required education, experience, and any necessary exams.
Step 2: Complete the Application
Once you have verified your eligibility, it's time to complete the license application. Visit the DCCA Professional and Vocational Licensing website and navigate to the Radiation Therapy section to access the application form. [https://cca.hawaii.gov/pvl/] Fill out the application accurately and ensure you have all the required documentation, such as proof of education, certification, and any additional supporting materials.
Step 3: Submit the Application
After completing the application and gathering all necessary documents, it's time to submit your application. You can submit your application online through the DCCA's Professional and Vocational Licensing Online System, known as MyPVL. Access the MyPVL portal [https://pvl.ehawaii.gov/mypvl/] and create an account, if you don't already have one. Follow the instructions to submit your application and pay the required fees.
Step 4: Background Check
As part of the endorsement license process, you will be required to undergo a background check. The DCCA will provide you with instructions on how to complete the background check process. It is important to fully comply with all instructions and provide any requested information or documentation.
Step 5: Await Approval
Once you have submitted your application and completed the background check, the DCCA will review your application. The review process may take some time, so we recommend periodically checking the status of your application through the MyPVL portal. You will receive a notification once your application has been approved.
