When must an application for licensure be filed before the exam?

In Massachusetts, the specific requirement for the application for licensure to be filed before taking the examination is 30 days. This timeframe ensures that the regulatory board has adequate time to process the application, conduct any necessary background checks, and confirm eligibility for the examination. Meeting this deadline is crucial for candidates to secure their opportunity to sit for the exam without any administrative delays that could hinder their licensure process. Understanding these timelines is vital for prospective chiropractors planning their pathway to licensure, as it impacts their preparation and scheduling.
