Apply for Licensure

ATTENTION ALL APPLICANTS:

All applicants will be required to provide the Board with a unique email address. In our current system, several email addresses which are listed for individual licensees are actually business email addresses or group practice email addresses. Those with such addresses should contact the Board immediately at (702)732-2147 to provide us with an email address that is unique, not shared, dedicated and distinct to each individual licensee. Your immediate attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated!
