Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) An
				applicant for licensure by the Board, whether by standard qualifications,
				alternative qualifications, Grandfather Clause or by endorsement, shall provide
				the Board with all information required pursuant to the Oklahoma Licensed
				Pedorthist Act on forms created for that purpose by staff. In addition, an
				applicant shall provide either original documents required or notarized or
				certified duplicates.
(b) The
				application and forms shall be submitted to the Board accompanied by fees as
				set by the Board. Any incomplete or missing information, documentation or fees
				shall render the application incomplete. No license shall be issued unless all
				application requirements have been met. Incomplete applications will be
				considered abandoned after one year. Any applicable fees paid shall not be
				refunded.
(c) The applicant shall
				be forthright and open in the provision of information to the Board in the
				application process. No applicant shall be awarded a license who does not
				provide the Board with complete, open and honest responses to all requests for
				information.
(d) Any Board or
				Committee member, based on any response to any question or request for
				information on the application form, may request an applicant to provide any
				additional information that the Board or Committee member feels is necessary or
				useful to determine the applicant's ability to practice pedorthics.
(e) The applicant shall be candid in regard
				to the provision of information related to any academic misconduct or
				disciplinary action.
(f) The
				applicant shall be provided a copy of the Act and Board rules on unprofessional
				conduct. The applicant shall review such rules and state candidly and honestly
				whether the applicant has committed any act which would constitute grounds for
				disciplinary action by the Board under the Act and rules of the
				Board.
(g) The applicant shall pay
				all necessary fees related to the application.
(h) It is the responsibility of the applicant
				to verify the applicant's identity and the validity of all documents or
				information submitted to the Board in the licensure process.
(i) The Board must be in receipt of
				correspondence from the Board of Certification in Pedorthics prior to issuance
				of any pedorthic license according to standard qualifications. The Board may
				also contact other sources as necessary. Should information be found through
				correspondence with the ABC, BOC or other sources that was previously unknown
				to the Board, the application will be held until such time as the Secretary of
				the Board is satisfied that the information has been validated by the
				staff.
(j) An applicant may
				withdraw an application for licensure at any time prior to the submission of
				the application for consideration by members of the Committee. No application
				may be withdrawn by an applicant after it has been submitted to members of the
				Committee.
(k) A foreign applicant
				shall provide the Board with written proof of the applicant's ability to work
				in the United States as authorized by the United States Immigration and
				Naturalization Service.
