Original Application

Welcome to Oklahoma! According to the Oklahoma Chiropractic Practice Act, it is mandatory that all persons who wish to represent themselves as a chiropractor, and/or practice chiropractic by offering chiropractic services to the public be licensed by this Board.

Felony crimes that substantially relate to the practice of chiropractic and pose a reasonable threat to public health and safety that would disqualify for licensure.

-Initial Determination Process

The steps below are guidance's to the application process; it is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure all steps are complete to be eligible for the Oklahoma Jurisprudence Examination and Oklahoma Licensure. Please follow the steps below carefully, failure to do so will delay the application process. 

Step 1:

Applicant must submit the following to the Board Office 30 days prior to the exam date you are wanting to sit for (dates for exam can be found here):

• Application for Licensure
  
  • Applicant Check List
• Citizen's Affidavit (Must be notarized)
• *$175 Application Fee
• *$175 Examination Fee (can be included in the cashier's check or money order with the application fee)
• Non-Citizen Affidavit if applicable
• Two passport photos

Upon receipt of the above documents, your name will be placed on the Board Meeting agenda for the next meeting, in order to sit for the JP Exam. Once you have been approved, you will be sent an email with instructions on how to access the exam online.

Step 2:

These items can be submitted to the Board Office after your initial application, we will not license you until all documentation is received:

• Request for Official Transcripts
• Certified Copy of Diploma
• Preliminary Application (for those who are still in Chiropractic College and have not graduated yet)
• License Verification Request Form (if you are licensed in another state)
• *National Background Check

*National Background Check:
This will be mailed to you once we receive your application for licensure. Included will be instructions, two fingerprint cards, and sample. Those will need to be mailed back to the Board Office for us to process your National Background Check through the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations (OSBI). If you fail to submit the documents properly, everything will be mailed back to you to resubmit, results in delaying the application process.

*Money Orders or Cashier's Checks:
The application and examination fee may be submitted together all on one check or separate. Again, no personal or business checks are accepted.
