Step 1: Verify Eligibility
Before beginning the endorsement license process, it is essential to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements set by the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH). Visit the official ISDH website at [www.in.gov/isdh/](www.in.gov/isdh/) to review the criteria and necessary qualifications. Make sure you have completed the required educational programs and possess a valid X-Ray Tech license from your current state.
Step 2: Obtain Required Documentation
Gather the necessary documentation to support your endorsement license application. The typical documents may include, but are not limited to:
1. Proof of identity (valid driver's license or passport)
2. Social Security card
3. Verification of licensure from your current state
4. Official transcripts from your educational program
Ensure that these documents are properly notarized and ready for submission.
Step 3: Submit Application
Access the ISDH online licensing portal to commence the endorsement license application process. The portal offers a convenient and quick way to submit your application. Find the application form at [www.in.gov/isdh/licensing/](www.in.gov/isdh/licensing/) and complete the required fields accurately. Upload the necessary documentation, pay the required fees (see website for current fees), and submit your application.
Step 4: Background Check
To ensure patient safety, a comprehensive criminal background check is typically required as part of the endorsement license process. Indiana utilizes the services of multiple vendors to perform background checks. You can find a list of approved vendors and instructions on the ISDH website at [www.in.gov/isdh/licensing/](www.in.gov/isdh/licensing/) under the 'Background Check' section. Follow the provided instructions to complete the background check process.
Step 5: Examination
After submitting your application and completing the background check, you may need to pass a state-approved examination. The ISDH website provides information regarding the examination process, including the approved exam vendors and study resources. Visit [www.in.gov/isdh/licensing/](www.in.gov/isdh/licensing/) for detailed information.
Step 6: License Issuance
Once you have successfully completed all the necessary steps, including the documentation, application, background check, and examination, the ISDH will review your application. If approved, you will receive your endorsement license as an X-Ray Tech in Indiana. Monitor your application status through the ISDH online licensing portal. The processing time may vary, so be patient.
