After completing the application, gather all the necessary documentation to support your application. This includes certified transcripts from your educational institution, current ARRT certification documents, and any additional supporting documents requested by the DCCA. Take extra care to ensure that all documentation is properly notarized, as per the DCCA's requirements.
