For Certification of Endorsement, which documents must be submitted to the Board?

• A. Passing score for the DC Jurisprudence Examination
• B. Proof the NAADAC Exam has been taken and passed or other state approved examination
• C. Proof of certification as addiction counselor in good standing from another jurisdiction
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

When applying for Certification of Endorsement, the board is checking that you meet legal requirements, have demonstrated competency, and have a clean professional record from another jurisdiction. This is shown by submitting three things: a passing score on the DC Jurisprudence Examination, which confirms you understand the state's laws, rules, and ethical expectations; proof that the NAADAC Exam has been taken and passed (or another state–approved examination), which demonstrates you meet the recognized competency standards for addiction counseling; and proof of certification as an addiction counselor in good standing from another jurisdiction, which verifies you have maintained licensure or certification without active disciplinary actions. Because each item serves a distinct purpose—legal compliance, clinical competence, and professional standing—the board requires all of them for endorsement.
