§ 63-6-209. Issue of licenses.

Licenses shall be issued promptly by the division as directed by the board after the board determines that an applicant has met all licensure criteria or qualifications and successfully passed the examination. The board shall also issue to such applicant a certificate of registration signed by the administrator of the health related boards, which certificate shall recite that the person is duly registered for the years specified. The board also has the authority to issue locum tenens and/or conditional licenses as it deems appropriate after reviewing the qualifications of applicants. In addition to the authority granted the board in § 63-6-214, the board has the authority to issue restricted licenses and special licenses based upon licensure to another state for the limited purpose of authorizing the practice of telemedicine to current applicants or current licensees, or both, as it deems necessary, pursuant to the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5. Any certificate of registration issued by the board shall contain the name of the person to whom it is issued, the address of the person, the date and number of the license and such other information as the board deems necessary. The address contained on this certificate of registration shall be the address of the licensee where all correspondence and renewal forms from the board shall be sent during the two (2) years for which the certificate of registration has been issued and shall be the address deemed sufficient for purposes of service of process. Any licensee whose address changes from the address contained on the registration certificate shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, notify the board of the address change.
