Application

 

Applicants for the NBCE SPEC and/or E&B examinations must submit an application, along with an authorization to take NBCE E&B, and a verification of professional credentials.

Applicants have three methods of completing applications for the post-licensure examinations:

  1. Enter information online and print the completed application form. Forms that must be completed by state boards are included.
  2. Print a blank application form (PDF file) and enter the information manually.

Access to these forms requires a PDF viewer. To view the PDF files, download and install a free version of Adobe Reader if you do not currently have the plug-in.

Applicants are cautioned to read and follow instructions when completing the application forms. Any of the following will result in rejection of the application:

  1. An illegible, improperly completed, or incomplete application (including all required authorization forms)
  2. An application received by the NBCE after the published deadline
  3. An application submitted without correct and guaranteed fees
  4. An application lacking the proper notary seal or stamp

Applicants are encouraged to keep a photocopy of the application for their records and to send applications via certified mail, return receipt requested. The NBCE will make no accommodations due to misdirected mail unless evidence of mailing (such as a certified receipt or other postal documentation) is provided.

After verification and processing of the application is complete, the NBCE will mail a confirmation letter to the applicant. After receiving that letter, it is the applicant’s responsibility to make a testing appointment either by contacting the Pearson VUE Call Center at 800-981-1622 or by scheduling online at www.pearsonvue.com/nbce. The confirmation letter contains specific contact information regarding appointment scheduling.

Application, required forms, and examination fees must be sent to:
