West Virginia Dietitian License

Transfer License

Steps

1. Submit Your Application ▾
   Apply through the West Virginia Board of Licensed Dietitians (WVBOLD). The application fee is $69.
2. Provide License Verification ▾
   West Virginia 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 Official Application ▾
   Application form filled out accurately and completely, confirming age and citizenship.
4. Confirm Your CDR Registration Card ▾
   Proof of active registration with the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
5. Request Official College Transcripts ▾
   Sent directly from the university showing your conferred degree (may be satisfied by CDR card, check with board).
6. Complete Fingerprinting and Background Screening ▾
   West Virginia 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 West Virginia can add 2-4 weeks to your processing time.
7. Await Board Processing ▾
   Plan for a processing timeline of about 2 to 4 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.
