The $110.00 or $140.00 non-refundable application fee payable to Georgia State Board of Speech-Language Pathology/Audiology must be included with application.

NOTARIZED APPLICATION: The three-page application must be mailed to the Board’s office at the address listed above, along with your FEE. All questions must be answered. Any question answered “yes”, requires further documentation to be submitted. Attach copies of official court documents and an explanation if you have had any criminal convictions or charges, or sanctions by another state licensing board. Approval of licensure is at the Board’s discretion.

OTHER STATE LICENSURE CERTIFICATION: If you are or have ever been licensed in another State(s), you must contact each of these states and have them provide verification of licensure directly to the Georgia Board office. If your state is on the approved list, a state certification is all that is needed. If your state is on the disapproved list, you cannot be considered for licensure by endorsement; only by ASHA or PCE.
