New Proof of Citizenship or Nationality Requirements

Federal law, 8 U.S.C. § 1641, and state law, A.R.S. § 1-501, require documentation of citizenship or nationality for licensure. If the documentation does not demonstrate that the applicant is a United States citizen, national, or a person described in specific categories, the applicant will not be eligible for licensure in Arizona.

If the Board has received your application after 1/1/2008, and the application you completed did not contain a proof of citizenship form, you will be required to complete a form and submit documentation evidencing citizenship or nationality prior to receiving your license/certification.
