Fee Waiver for Applicants Meeting Expedited Licensure Requirements

In addition to expediting the licensure process, the Board will waive the application fee and initial licensure fee for an applicant who is married to, or in a domestic partnership or other legal union with an active-duty member of the Armed Forces of the United States, who is applying for licensure in California and holds a current license in another state or territory. To qualify for the fee waiver, individuals must include the following with their application for licensure:

  • A copy of the marriage certificate or certified declaration/registration of domestic partnership filed with the Secretary of State. For other forms of legal union not recognized by California, you may submit other documentary evidence issued by the state that recognizes your legal union for consideration by the Board in meeting this requirement.
  • A copy of your current physician assistant license.
  • A copy of the military orders establishing duty station in California.
