Section 1400-11.0 - Reciprocity

11.1 An applicant for licensure by reciprocity shall complete an application approved by the Board and as required by 24 Del.C. § 1409(a) present proof of current licensure in good standing to the Board from the licensing agencies of all jurisdictions where the applicant is or has been licensed. A license is not a current license if it is inactive, has lapsed, has expired, has been suspended, or has been revoked. An applicant for licensure under this provision must submit to the Board a copy of reciprocal state's current licensure requirements.

11.2 If the reciprocal state's requirements are not substantially similar to those of this State, as determined by the Board, the applicant shall submit proof of practice under the submitted current license for at least 5 years after licensure. Proof of practice requires an employer's affidavit describing the nature of the applicant's experience. If an applicant cannot obtain an affidavit from the employer, W-2 forms or other tax documents showing 5 years full-time employment may be substituted at the discretion of the Board.
