to the applicant and will not be deemed filed until it has been returned with
all corrections made. A pharmacist license application shall be deemed invalid

or destroyed.

otherwise provided, all licensing and registration fees required by the rules
of the board are nonrefundable.

be used as proof of licensure by an applicant until a hard copy
license/registration has been received from the board.
(6) Failure to receive a renewal notice or
application from the board shall not excuse the licensee/registrant from any
renewal requirements established by Chapter 338, RSMo, or by rule of the
board.
(7) Except as otherwise
determined by the board, a pharmacist applicant shall be eligible for a
temporary authorization letter to practice pharmacy pending final board
approval of the applicant's pharmacist license if the applicant has submitted a
complete pharmacist application to the board and has successfully passed all
required examinations (NAPLEX and/or MPJE).
(A) Applicants not eligible for a temporary
authorization letter may apply for a technician registration pursuant to the
rules of the board. Applicants working as a technician shall be under the
direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist at all times when any functions
related to section
338.010,
RSMo, are performed and shall comply with all Missouri requirements for
pharmacy technicians.

to provide fingerprints if all fingerprinting requirements have previously been
fulfilled and the fingerprints were submitted less than six (6) months before
the board's receipt of the application for technician registration.
