Guide to Obtaining a CT Tech Endorsement License in Colorado

Before starting the application process, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the Colorado licensing requirements for CT Technologists. The Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) oversees the licensing process and provides all the necessary information. Visit their website at [DORA CT Technologist Licensing](https://www.colorado.gov/dora/boards.ct-tech) for detailed guidance on the requirements, documentation, and fees associated with the endorsement license.

Once you have reviewed the requirements, it's time to complete the application form. DORA provides an online portal for easy submission of your endorsement license application. Access the portal through the [DORA Online Services](https://www.colorado.gov/dora-online-services) and follow the instructions to create an account. Fill out the application accurately and attach any required supporting documents as outlined in the guidelines.

As part of the endorsement license process, you will need to provide proof of your education and experience as a CT Technologist. DORA requires official transcripts from an accredited educational institution and verification of relevant work experience. Contact your educational institution to request the transcripts, and ensure they are sent directly to DORA. For work experience verification, provide documentation such as letters from employers or signed employment contracts.

To ensure patient safety and compliance with licensing regulations, a fingerprint-based background check is mandatory. DORA provides a list of approved fingerprinting vendors on their website. Visit the [DORA Fingerprinting Services](https://www.colorado.gov/dora-fingerprinting) page to access the list and schedule an appointment with any of the approved vendors. Follow the provided instructions carefully and allow sufficient time to receive the results before submitting your application.

As with any licensing process, there will be fees associated with your CT Tech endorsement license application. Refer to the Colorado DORA website for the current fee schedule. Payments can be made online through the [DORA Online Services](https://www.colorado.gov/dora-online-services) portal. Be sure to keep a record of your transaction for future reference.

Once you have submitted the completed application, along with all the necessary documentation and fees, your endorsement license will undergo a review process by DORA. It is essential to monitor your application status through the [DORA License Lookup](https://www.colorado.gov/dora-license-lookup) tool. Once your license is approved, ensure you understand the renewal process to maintain your active status as a CT Tech in Colorado. DORA provides renewal guidelines on their website, which should be followed closely to avoid any interruptions in your practice.
