Q:  I have let my license lapse, what must I do to activate that license?

A:  A license that has been lapsed less than five years may be reinstated upon submission of a renewal application together with the payment of renewal fees, a license re-instatement fee, and proof of completion of continuing education as required in the rules.  If a license has been lapsed for more than five years, a new application for licensure is required.

Q:  How do I request an official license/registration certification?

Each state requires different forms of certification of licensure. Please check with the state where you are applying to see what is required before requesting certification from Idaho. Certifications can be obtained two ways from Idaho, both through your Online Services account, they can be found under the “Menu” option once logged into your account:

1. A free Letter of Good Standing may be obtained through your Online Services Account. This letter contains all public information (not exam scores).
1. From your online profile select the “Menu” link in the tile of the license you want a letter for.
2. Select “Request a Good Standing Letter”.
2. If the receiving state doesn’t accept web-based certifications or requires information exempt from third-party disclosure (example: exam scores) to be included in the certification, you will need to request a Certified Licensure History Letter through your Online Services account. There is a $10.00 fee for this service and you will be able to pay through your online account.
1. From your online profile select the “Menu” link in the tile of the license you want a letter for.
2. Select “Request a Certified Licensure History Letter”.
3. You will be prompted to answer a question and proceed through a payment process. 

Q:  How do I request a duplicate license?

A:  The license/registration issued to you by the Division is public proof that you are entitled to pursue certain activities regulated by Idaho Law.  If your license/registration becomes lost or destroyed, you may obtain a replacement from the Division.  A replacement may also be requested if you have changed your name or address and wish to receive a license/registration bearing the updated information.  

You may complete the Application for Duplicate License form online, print it out and sign it, and send it with the fee required by Idaho law to the Division.  Your application will not be processed unless the fee is received with the application.   A replacement card will be sent to the mailing address.

** You will not receive a license/registration bearing the updated information until the next renewal period unless you submit the name change form along with the required documentation prior to renewing online.

There is no fee required to update any of the contact information in your Division record.

Q: I have a disability that I believe should be addressed through an accommodation in the examination process required to fulfill licensure requirements. What should I do to seek an accommodation?

A: As soon as possible prior to the examination, you should complete the form provided on this Board’s webpage for the purpose of requesting an accommodation for the examination required for licensure, and submit it to the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses. You will be required to provide documentation of the disability, such as a diagnosis of the disability that is signed by your doctor. The accommodation request will be considered consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

Q: What are the requirements for continuing education?

A: All persons renewing a denturists license will be required to certify completion of a minimum of twelve (12) hours of continuing education where the subject matter of the program is determined to be pertinent to the practice of Denturitry. The Board will conduct random continuing education audits on a continual basis.

Q: How are continuing education credits audited?

A: The Board conducts annual audits to ensure compliance with the continuing education requirements.  Audits may be initiated anytime after you renew your license.  By submitting your renewal and answering “Yes” to the question that you have met the continuing education requirements, you are certifying to the Board that you have already obtained proof of having completed the required continuing education. 

If you are audited, you must submit a listing of all continuing education courses completed during the previous year AND proof of attendance documentation for each course.  Failure to submit the required documentation may result in Board action against your right to licensure. 

You should review the Board rules regarding continuing education before signing up for any continuing education offerings. 

Any licensed denturist who operates a denturist lab or clinic, or who conducts business as a denturist, must register their business location with the board annually (See Rule 475).  The  form for Denture Clinics must be completed and submitted to the Board within ten (10) days of opening for business. The form must also be submitted for any change in either location, identity of the principal denturist, or of any denturist employees. If you operate or conduct business at more than one business location, please copy and complete this form for each business location.
