Many applicants using this package will not have to furnish the names and addresses of references. Refer to Step 3 in the Registration Process brochure for the exceptions. A copy of the Reference Questionnaire is included for information only. You must be of good character and reputation. Good character connotes moral and ethical strength and undoubtedly includes integrity, candor, honesty and trustworthiness.
Character is what a person is, while reputation is what others believe that person to be.
This is determined, among other sources of information, by the response to a general question on the Reference Questionnaire and by the responses to the specific questions on the application form. All the questions on the form must be responded to with a yes or no answer. If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you must provide details in writing. You may do so in a sealed envelope, the contents of which will be disclosed only to those members of the Board and staff who have a need to know . An affirmative answer to any question does not necessarily mean that you will be refused registration.
