NYC License Application Attorney

Professional License Applications in New York

Obtaining a professional license in New York requires navigating the NYS Education Department's application process, which varies by profession but generally involves verification of education, examination, experience (where applicable), and character fitness. For applicants with out-of-state credentials, foreign education, or disclosure issues, the process can be significantly more complex.

At Agarunov Law Firm, P.C., we guide professionals through every step of the application process, ensuring complete, accurate, and strategically prepared submissions that maximize approval chances and minimize delays.

Our Application Services

Initial License Applications

We assist with preparing and submitting initial license applications for all professions regulated by the NYS Education Department. Our services include application form preparation and review, document compilation and verification, education and examination requirement analysis, experience documentation (for professions requiring supervised practice), and strategic preparation of any required personal statements or explanations.

Endorsement & Reciprocity

If you hold a license in another state, you may be eligible for licensure by endorsement — a streamlined process that recognizes your existing credentials. We evaluate your eligibility, prepare endorsement applications, and coordinate with both states to facilitate an efficient transfer. Requirements and processes vary significantly by profession.

Foreign Credential Evaluation

Professionals educated outside the United States face additional requirements including credential evaluation by approved agencies, examination equivalency determinations, and potentially additional education or clinical requirements. We guide internationally educated professionals through the evaluation and application process.

Disclosure Guidance

Applications that require disclosure of prior disciplinary actions, criminal history, malpractice claims, substance abuse treatment, or mental health treatment require careful preparation. How disclosures are presented can significantly affect the outcome. We prepare thorough, honest disclosure statements that present the facts in the most favorable light while maintaining full compliance with application requirements.
