What is the fee for the paperwork of certification papers for applicants to other states?

• A. 25
• B. 10
• C. 50
• D. 75

Answer: (A)

When an applicant needs credentials verified for practice in another state, the board charges a nominal processing fee to cover preparing and sending the official certification. The standard amount for this paperwork is twenty-five dollars. This fee reflects the cost of generating the verification, handling the record, and mailing it to the requesting state's board. A much smaller fee wouldn’t cover processing costs, while higher amounts aren’t the established charge for this service. To obtain it, you typically submit a request (often with authorization to release records) and pay the fee so the board can issue and forward the verification.
