Licensed physicians and dentists may be certified to practice acupuncture in New York State, but the requirements and application process are different from those for licensure in acupuncture. It is your responsibility to follow up with anyone you have asked to send us documentation to make sure the documents were sent. The specific requirements for licensure are contained in Article 160 of New York's Education Law and Parts 52.16 and 79.2 of the Commissioner's Regulations. You should also read the general licensing information applicable for all professions. The fees listed are those in place when this page was posted.
Fees are subject to change.
We will bill you for the difference if fees have been increased. Do not send cash. Make your check or money order payable to the New York State Education Department. Personal checks are accepted. Your cancelled check is your receipt.
