Requirements
Applicants currently licensed in another state may apply via endorsement if the other state's licensing requirements are substantially equivalent to or stricter than Oklahoma's. The standard application, fee, and verification of all out-of-state licenses are required.

Steps

  1. Submit Your Application
    Apply through the Oklahoma Licensed Dietitians Committee. The application fee is $120.
  2. Provide License Verification
    Oklahoma requires official verification of your active out-of-state license. This must be sent directly to the board from your current state board or its official online verification system before your file can be considered complete.
  3. Provide CDR Registration Verification
    Proof of active registration with the Commission on Dietetic Registration sent directly to the Board.
  4. Request Official College Transcripts
    Sent directly from the university showing your conferred degree.
  5. Provide Extended Background Check
    Processed through the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI).
  6. Provide Evidence of Legal Status
    Form documenting your citizenship or qualified alien status.
  7. Complete Fingerprinting and Background Screening
    Oklahoma requires a criminal background check for all applicants. Out-of-state applicants can use IdentoGO Out-of-State Live Scan (adds ~$39.95 fee) OR FD-258 hard card via mail (tip: moisturize hands for days prior to reduce smudge rejects). Completing prints outside Oklahoma can add 2-4 weeks to your processing time.
  8. Await Board Processing
    Plan for a processing timeline of about 4 to 6 Weeks once your file is complete. If you need to start working immediately, most states do not offer temporary practice authorization during the endorsement process. Contact the state board directly for current policies on practice authorization while your application is pending.
  9. Create an Account
    Register for a new account on the OKLAHOMA MEDICAL BOARD REGULATORY SERVICES PORTAL at https://oklahoma.professions.portal.infor.com/. Provide your personal details, including SSN and date of birth, create login credentials, and verify your email address.
  10. Upload Supporting Documentation
    Upload all necessary documents as specified in the Dietitian Initial Application Instructions, including official transcripts, verification of registration with the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR), and a recent passport-style photograph, directly through the OKLAHOMA MEDICAL BOARD REGULATORY SERVICES PORTAL.
  11. Board Review and Approval
    Your complete application, including all submitted documents and background check results, will be reviewed by the Board staff. Once all requirements are met and approved, your Oklahoma Dietitian license will be issued.
