Requirements
Applicants currently certified or licensed as a dietitian in good standing in another jurisdiction can apply for certification in Vermont via the online system if their jurisdiction's requirements are substantially equivalent to Vermont's (typically demonstrated by active CDR registration).

Steps

  1. Submit Your Application
    Apply through the Dietitians. The application fee is $100.
  2. Provide License Verification
    Vermont 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 OPR Online Application
    Application submitted electronically with the required fee.
  4. Confirm Your CDR Registration Card
    Proof of active registration with the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
  5. Complete Fingerprinting and Background Screening
    Vermont 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 Vermont can add 2-4 weeks to your processing time.
  6. Await Board Processing
    Plan for a processing timeline of about 7 to 10 Business Days once your file is complete.
  7. Create an OPR Account
    Register for a new user account on the My OPRB Online Services portal (secure.vermont.gov/myvoprb/) by providing your email and creating a password, then answering security questions.
  8. Await Review and Approval
    The Office of Professional Regulation will review your complete application and submitted documents. You will be notified of the licensing decision after the review process.
