OAR 833-020-0061: Re-Licensure Method

(1) The re-licensure method is required for applicants who were previously licensed by the Board within the last two years of their new application submission. The re-licensure method requires the applicant, as a previous Board licensee, to request a new license with a new license number, but without documenting further supervised clinical experience. (2) To be considered for re-licensure, all of the following items must be received: (a) An application for re-licensure, in a form and manner prescribed by the Board, which must include complete and truthful responses to all of the questions regarding character and fitness, the applicant’s current information and status, and any other information requested by the Board. (b) The current application fee plus one current renewal fee; (c) Report of at least the minimum continuing education activities required in OAR Chapter 833, Division 80 completed within two years prior to the date the Board will issue the new license; and (d) Disclosure as to whether the applicant has engaged in the unlicensed practice of professional counseling or marriage and family and therapy during the period since their previous license expired. (3) To be considered for licensure more than two years after the expiration date of the prior license, an applicant must request a new license with a new license number by reapplying for licensure using the method of application that applies to their current situation under OAR 833-020-0021. (4) All applicants for re-licensure must successfully pass the current Oregon law and rules examination.
