APPLYING FOR A FUNERAL DIRECTOR LICENSE BY RESIDENT INTERNSHIP
These instructions apply if an applicant is filing for a funeral director license by resident internship. If the applicant holds a current license in another state and has practiced as a funeral director in three of the past five years, please see the instructions for applying by reciprocity. If the applicant holds a current license but has not practiced in three of the past five years, the applicant must serve a resident internship
Requirements For All Applicants
An internship must be served in a Delaware funeral establishment. An applicant should first select a sponsor who is a Delaware-licensed funeral director. The sponsor must complete the Sponsorship section on the application form. Please submit the following:
-
Completed, signed and notarized application form (please answer all the questions).
-
Non-refundable processing fee (see Fee Schedule), made payable to "State of Delaware."
-
Official transcript from high school sent directly from school to the Board office.
-
Official transcript(s) sent from all colleges/universities attended sent directly from the school to the Board office.
-
Official transcript from mortuary school, showing degree conferred (if any) and date, sent directly from the school to the Board office.
-
Official National Board Examination score report sent directly from the International Conference of Funeral Service Examining Boards (see www.cfseb.org).
-
If ever licensed in another state, letter of good standing from each state in which now (or has ever been) licensed, sent directly from each state to the Board office.
Requirements During The Internship
When the Board approves the internship, the applicant will be notified of the beginning and ending dates. During the one-year internship, the intern must complete and submit 25 embalming reports and 4 quarterly work reports. The Board office will supply these forms when notifying the applicant of approval of the internship. At the conclusion of the internship, the intern's sponsor must submit a notarized letter confirming successful completion.
If the applicant has not passed the National Board Examination when applying for a resident internship, he or she must pass it and submit the score report during the internship.
Law, Rules And Regulations Examination
In addition to the requirements above, each applicant must pass an examination on Delaware's law, rules and regulations with a minimum score of 70%. This examination may be taken any time during the internship. When the intern is ready, he or she should contact the Board office to schedule the examination. The examination fee is $95, by check or money order, made payable to the "State of Delaware." Please do not send this fee until the examination is scheduled. If the applicant requests rescheduling of the examination after it has been shipped, a fee of $15 will be assessed to cover the shipping costs.
The testing service will send the results to the Board office, and the Board office will notify the intern in writing.
Notification of Licensure
When all of the above requirements have been met, the Board will review the application along with the tests results, quarterly reports, and certification of internship completion. In addition, the applicant must submit a pro-rated processing fee. See fee schedule for funeral director pro-rated fees. This fee must be received before the license is issued.
