Temporary Podiatrist Licensure

A temporary license may be issued to an out-of-state Podiatrist who will be taking charge of the practice of a Delaware-licensed Podiatrist during the Delaware licensee’s temporary illness or absence from Delaware.

Temporary licenses are valid for up to three months from date of issuance.

If you need licensure for a Delaware residency program, see the licensure requirements for Podiatrist-In-Training.
