1)         A certification from the licensing authority of the jurisdiction stating:

A)        The time during which the applicant was licensed in that jurisdiction;

B)        Whether the file on the applicant contains a record of any disciplinary action taken or pending; and

C)        A brief description of the examination taken and the grades received; and

2)         A completed Education Certification Form, a completed Verification of Qualifying Experience Form or a completed Work History Form detailing the education and/or experience required by Section 15-10, 20-10, 25-10 or 30-10 of the Act, as applicable; and

3)         The required fee specified in Section 1240.570.

b)         The Division shall examine each application to determine whether the requirements at the time of licensure in the state where the applicant was licensed were substantially equivalent to the requirements in force in the State of Illinois at that time and the state has similar rules for licensure by endorsement.

c)         If the Division questions the documentation provided by the applicant because of discrepancies or conflicts in information, or missing information, or if the Division needs further information to determine substantial equivalence of the applicant's qualifications for licensure, the applicant will be requested to submit further information as the Division deems necessary to make such determination.
