Section: 45:6-6: Issuance of licenses; reciprocal licenses; fees
The board shall register as licensed dentists, and, under its seal and the hand of its president and secretary-treasurer, shall issue to all persons who successfully pass said examination its license to practice dentistry. The board may, in its discretion, without such examination, issue its license to practice dentistry to any applicant therefor who desires to remove to this state from another state of the United States or from a foreign country, in which he was licensed to practice dentistry and has conducted the practice of dentistry for at least five years immediately preceding the application to the board for such license, if such applicant presents proof, by affidavit or otherwise, of the facts above mentioned, and presents a certificate from the board of dental examiners or from the board or official exercising similar powers of the state or county from which he desires to remove, certifying that he is a competent dentist or dental surgeon, and of good moral character, and if such certificate is presented to the board of this state not more than six months after its date of issue, and if the board or official issuing such certificate recognizes, in like manner, certificates issued by the board of this state and presented to them by licensed practitioners of dentistry of this state. The board may, in its discretion, refuse to issue licenses under this section without examination to any person not qualified under this chapter for admission to examination for license to practice dentistry. The fee for issuing any such license without examination shall be fifty dollars, which shall be paid before its issuance. The board may issue to any person known to it to be competent and of good moral character, who is licensed to practice dentistry in this state, and who desires to change his residence to another state or foreign country, a certificate over the signature of its president and secretary-treasurer, authenticated with its seal, which shall attest the facts above mentioned and give the date upon which such person was licensed to practice dentistry. The fee for issuing such certificate shall be five dollars, which shall be paid before its issuance.
