What to Expect from the Temporary LCPM Application
The application is fairly straightforward, but gathering your documents first will make it easier. You can save your progress and return later. Have These Items Ready:
Education and NARM Verification Upload your MEAC certificate of completion or NARM Bridge Certificate. MEAC graduates must have an official transcript sent directly by their school or records custodian. Contact NARM at [email protected] and request verification of your current CPM credential. NARM must send it directly to [email protected]. You cannot submit the verification yourself. Other Professional Licenses List all professional licenses held in other states, jurisdictions, or countries, including expired licenses. Official verification must come directly from each licensing authority. Electronic verification can be sent to [email protected]. Mailed verification must arrive in an unopened, jurisdiction-sealed envelope. The application does not ask you to upload another state’s laws or regulations. NPDB Self-QueryRequest Self-Query through the National Practitioner Data Bank and upload the complete, unmodified report to the application. This will incur a $3 fee CORI Form The CORI Acknowledgment Form must be printed, completed, notarized, scanned, and uploaded. Make sure:
The application asks about past or pending professional discipline, surrendered or denied licenses, and criminal history. A “yes” answer requires an explanation and supporting documentation. A past matter does not automatically disqualify an applicant. After Submission You will receive an application number and a downloadable copy showing your application as pending. The application may remain pending while the Board waits for documents sent by NARM, your school, or another licensing authority. Watch your email and the licensing portal for follow-up requests. What to Expect from the MCSR ApplicationAfter submitting your midwifery license application, you will be directed to a separate Massachusetts Controlled Substances Registration application. The current fee is $300.
The application asks for:
Use your principal place of business or professional practice. If you do not have a separate business location, you may use your home address. The address will appear on the public license-verification website. A PO Box cannot be used without a street address. A separate MCSR is required for each location where you purchase and store prescription medications. Medications You Plan to Stock If you indicate that you will purchase and store prescription medications, MCSR may email you for a list. They want medications you expect to keep in stock, not medications you may prescribe without stocking. You can reply directly to the email, and staff will add the list to your application. The list is not binding. MCSR has confirmed that they only need a general idea of what you expect to stock. Your choices may change based on cost, shelf life, storage requirements, client volume, and the Board-approved formulary. You may use this language if you'd like when listing the medications you plan on using in your practice: "Below is the list of prescription medications I currently anticipate purchasing and storing for use in my clinical practice. My final purchasing decisions may change based on cost, storage requirements, expiration dates, client volume, and the formulary approved by the Board of Registration in Midwifery." After submission, you will receive an application number, payment receipt, and downloadable copy of your application. Watch your email for follow-up requests from MCSR staff. |
