What must an applicant file with the secretary of the committee as part of licensure?

• A. A medical clearance certificate
• B. A tax return
• C. A written statement of good moral character, age over 18, training, and experience
• D. A resume

Answer: (C)

The requirement focuses on proving the applicant’s fitness to practice by outlining character and qualifications. Licensure hinges on demonstrating good moral character, a minimum age (over 18), and the necessary training and experience to perform the duties safely and professionally. Filing a written statement that covers these points with the secretary of the committee provides the board with a formal, sworn credential about the applicant’s suitability.

Medical clearance, tax returns, or a resume do not establish these core eligibility elements. A medical clearance certificate isn’t generally a licensure prerequisite for hearing aid dispensers, tax returns aren’t indicators of professional fitness, and while a résumé summarizes qualifications, it isn’t the mandated declaration of character and qualification required for licensure.
