645—280.7(154C) Licensure by endorsement.
	280.7(1) An applicant who has been a licensed social worker under the laws of another jurisdiction shall file an application for licensure by endorsement with the board office. The board may receive by endorsement any applicant from the District of Columbia, another state, territory, province or foreign country who:
	a. 	Submits to the board a completed application;
	b. 	Pays the licensure fee;
	c. 	Shows evidence of licensure requirements that are similar to those required in Iowa;
	d. 	Provides official copies of the academic transcripts;
	e. 	Provides official copies of the appropriate or higher level examination score sent directly from the ASWB; and
	f. 	Provides verification of license(s) from every jurisdiction in which the applicant has been licensed, sent directly from the jurisdiction(s) to the board office. Web-based verification may be substituted for verification direct from the jurisdiction’s board office if the verification provides:
	(1)	Licensee’s name;
	(2)	Date of initial licensure;
	(3)	Current licensure status; and
	(4)	Any disciplinary action taken against the license.
	280.7(2) A person who is licensed in another jurisdiction but who is unable to satisfy the requirements for licensure by endorsement may apply for licensure by verification, if eligible, in accordance with rule 645—19.1(272C).
In lieu of the requirements in paragraphs 280.7(1)“d,” “e,” and “f,” the board will accept the ASWB Social Work Registry verification of academic transcripts, examination scores, and licensure in other states.
