What is required for a person licensed in a reciprocal state to obtain a limited license in Pennsylvania?

To obtain a limited license in Pennsylvania, a person licensed in a reciprocal state must present an original certification from that state. This requirement ensures that the individual is officially recognized as a licensed funeral director in their home state, validating their credentials and professional standing. The certification acts as a means for Pennsylvania’s regulatory body to verify that the applicant meets the standards and qualifications equivalent to those required within the state.

While experience in funeral directing and an affidavit of moral character may be essential components in evaluating licensure applications, they do not specifically address the unique context of applying for a limited license based on reciprocity. Moreover, completion of a state-approved training program is not specifically required for individuals already licensed in another state seeking reciprocity; their existing credentials hold significant weight in this process, making the original certification the critical element for approval.
