Utah Form Dopl Ap PDF Details

The Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) has created a straightforward process for individuals seeking to become either a Certified Medication Aide or obtain a temporary certification in this role. This meticulous process is encapsulated in the Utah DOPL Application form. Ensuring a smooth licensure pathway requires applicants to submit a fully completed application, paired with all necessary supporting documents and the prescribed fees. It is crucial to understand that the application fee is non-refundable and is a prerequisite for processing the application. The form mandates applicants to provide their Social Security Number for identification purposes and as part of the state’s compliance with child support enforcement and legal mandates. The form acts as a comprehensive guide, detailing mandatory attachments, including proof of completion of a recognized Medication Aide Certified training program, fingerprint cards for a criminal background check, and documentation of current certification as a Certified Nursing Assistant, among others. Delays in the licensure process are often due to incomplete applications, underlining the importance of submitting a meticulously filled application. Additionally, the application highlights the importance of understanding Utah laws and rules related to nursing practices, meeting education and examination requirements, and adhering to the protocol for certification renewal and address updates. This detailed approach underlines the DOPL's commitment to ensuring that only qualified individuals are granted licensure, thereby protecting public health and safety.

*Important Additional Important Information:

1.Application Processing: Processing time for an application, where the fingerprints have been electronically scanned by DOPL and there are no issues that need to be resolved, is approximately 7 to 21 business days if the application is complete. If the application is incomplete, the processing time will increase.

2.Laws and Rules: You are required to understand Utah laws and rules pertaining to your practice. The following laws and rules are available on the Internet at www.dopl.utah.gov.

Division of Occupational & Professional Licensing Act, 58-1 (Jul 01 2012)

General Rules of the Division of Occupational & Professional Licensing, R156-1 (November 26, 2012)

Nurse Practice Act, 58-31b (Jan 01 2013

3.Education Requirement: You must complete an approved Medication Aide Certified program. Completion of an approved program is documented by submitting an official document from the training program includes the date of completion.

4.Examination Requirement: The required examination will be NCSBN’s Medication Aide Certified Examination (MACE). However, this examination will not be available until February 1, 2014. If you are submitting an application for a temporary certification, please contact the Division after February 1, 2014 for information regarding the MACE examination.

5.Temporary Certification: Temporary Certification may be issued to a person who meets all licensure requirements except the passing of the MACE examination. The temporary certification will be issued for a period of twelve (12) months. Please note: The temporary certification will automatically expire upon release of official examination results if the applicant fails the examination or if the applicant does not take the first available examination.

6.Certification Renewal: All medication aide certified certification expire March 31 of each odd-numbered year. Each licensee is responsible to renew the license PRIOR to the expiration date shown on the current certification. Approximately two months prior to the expiration date shown on the license, renewal information is disseminated to each licensee’s address of record, as provided to DOPL. Under Utah’s renewal system, all licenses in each profession expire as a group on the same day every two years. Therefore, the length of a licensee’s first renewal cycle depends on how far into the current renewal cycle initial licensure was obtained. Each renewal cycle thereafter is for a full two years. Additionally, the fee paid with this application for licensure is an application-processing fee only.

7.Updating Address Information: It is your responsibility to maintain a current address with DOPL. If your address is incorrect, you will not receive correspondence from DOPL. Address changes can be made online at www.dopl.utah.gov.

Please note that the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing, section 58-1-301.7(1) Change of information reads:

(a)An applicant, licensee, or certificate holder shall send the division a signed statement, in a form required by the division, notifying within 10 business days of a change in mailing address.

(c)In addition to providing a mailing address, an applicant, licensee, or certificate holder may provide to the division, in a form required by the division, an email address and may designate email as the preferred method of receiving notifications from the division.

7.Name Change: If you have been licensed or certified by DOPL under any other name, please submit documentation of your name change (i.e. copy of a marriage license or divorce decree).

8.Fingerprint Information: All applicants are required to undergo a criminal background check and fingerprint search through the files of the bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). To expedite the licensure process, you can obtain electronic fingerprinting at DOPL’s office at 160 E. 300 S., Salt Lake City, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. The cost for having fingerprints electronically scanned by DOPL is covered in the $40 non-refundable surcharge fee.

A current government issued picture ID is required and would include one of the following: a driver’s license issued by Washington D.C., a state of the United States of America or an identification card issued by the state of Utah.

DOPL-AP Rev 2013-09/05

If you are unable to obtain electronic fingerprints at DOPL’s office, you must include two (2) blue fingerprint cards (Form FD-258) with your application for each individual associated with the application as defined above. To have your fingerprints rolled onto the blue fingerprint cards, you must go to BCI, a local police station or an agency authorized by the FBI to roll fingerprints. If you downloaded the application from the Internet, you may obtain fingerprint cards the Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI), your local police station or authorized agency. Fingerprint cards that are not complete and/or properly rolled will be rejected, delaying the licensure process. Due to the high number of inked fingerprint cards that are rejected and the amount of time it takes state and federal government agencies to process these cards, applicants are encouraged at the time of application to have their fingerprints electronically scanned at DOPL or at the Bureau of Criminal Identification.
