Yes. In reviewing an applicant's offense or criminal history, the Board evaluates whether the individual has been sufficiently rehabilitated to warrant the public trust. In making this determination, it helps if the applicant provides a detailed written statement (S-150 Personal History) explaining the offense history, related facts or events, as well as the reasons the applicant deserves to be licensed or registered. The applicant should include any helpful facts that would aid in the Board’s evaluation, such as any relevant qualifications or experience in the profession, extenuating or mitigating circumstances regarding any illegal activity or wrongdoing, and work or volunteer history since the time of such wrongdoing. You may also include other documents that may help in the Board’s review of your application, such as letters of recommendation, character references, evidence of present fitness for licensure, pleadings or other court documents from the case, and evidence of coursework, community involvement volunteer experience, or past job responsibilities.
