Iowa Admin. Code r. 645-280.3 - Requirements for licensure
The following criteria shall apply to licensure:
(1) The applicant submits a completed
application for licensure and pays the nonrefundable licensure fee specified in
rule 645-5.19 (147,154C).
(2) No application will be considered by the
board until official copies of academic transcripts have been received by the
board except as provided in subrule 280.3(7).
(3) The applicant provides verification of
license from the jurisdiction in which the applicant has most recently been
licensed, sent directly from the jurisdiction to the board office. The
applicant must also disclose any public or pending complaints against the
applicant in any other jurisdiction. Web-based verification may be substituted
for verification direct from the jurisdiction's board office if the
verification provides:

name;
b. Date of initial
licensure;
c. Current licensure
status; and
d. Any disciplinary
action taken against the license.
(4) The applicant will take the
examination(s) provided in rule
645-280.4 (154C).
(5) Licensees who were issued their initial
licenses within six months prior to the renewal shall not be required to renew
their licenses until the renewal date two years later.
(6) Incomplete applications that have been on
file in the board office for more than two years will be:
a. Considered invalid and be destroyed;
or
b. Maintained upon written
request of the applicant. The applicant is responsible for requesting that the
file be maintained.
(7)
In lieu of the requirements in subrules 280.3(2) and 280.3(3), the board will
accept the ASWB Social Work Registry verification of academic transcripts and
verification of licensure in other states.
