  •    (a) An application for a license by endorsement shall be filed on a form prescribed by the board of chiropractic examiners and provided by the health professions bureau.

      (b) Each applicant for a license by endorsement shall submit the following information:

    (1) Official transcripts, certified by the school or college, recording completion of at least two (2) years (sixty (60) semester hours) of prechiropractic education as specified by IC 25-10-1-2(b). As used in this subdivision, "prechiropractic education" means education that has been completed prior to the applicant's matriculation in a school or college of chiropractic as defined under IC 25-10-1-2(a). Prechiropractic education that has been completed in whole or in part after the date of matriculation in chiropractic school will not be accepted by the board to fulfill requirements of IC 25-10-1-2(b).

    (3) Official score report from the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE), with passing scores in Parts I through IV and physiotherapy. An applicant who takes the NBCE examinations prior to September 11, 1987, is not required to submit Part III scores of the NBCE.

    (4) One (1) passport-quality photograph taken not earlier than one (1) year prior to the date of application.

    (5) A statement from the appropriate agency in each state where the applicant has been licensed, certifying whether or not disciplinary proceedings have ever been initiated or are presently pending against the applicant.

    (6) If the applicant has not taken and passed Part IV of the NBCE examination, the applicant may submit a certification from the appropriate agency in a state where the applicant holds an active license that the applicant has passed an oral-practical examination, which is equivalent to Part IV of the NBCE examination.

    (7) Satisfactory evidence to the board of chiropractic examiners that the applicant has been licensed to practice chiropractic in another state for at least three (3) years under qualifications substantially equivalent to those specified in IC 25-10-1.

      (b) All required documents submitted by an applicant must be in English. Documents that are not in English must include an official translation. As used in this subsection, "official translation" means only those translations completed by the consulate or embassy of the country in which the prechiropractic school or chiropractic school is located.

      (c) An applicant for licensure by endorsement must pass a written examination in chiropractic jurisprudence. A score of seventy-five (75) or above is passing.
