What are two additional requirements besides examination that must be met to practice pharmacy?

To practice pharmacy in Minnesota, candidates must fulfill several requirements beyond passing the licensure examination. One such requirement is the submission of a social security number, mandated by federal law, which is essential for the identification and verification of the applicant’s identity as well as for tax purposes. Additionally, candidates are required to pay the original licensure fee, which covers the costs associated with processing the application and maintaining the licensing system.

Meeting these criteria ensures that the candidate is properly documented and that the state can verify their eligibility to practice pharmacy. This helps uphold the integrity of the profession and guarantees compliance with both state and federal regulations. Other options listed may include various steps or documentation that are not typically mandated by Minnesota law for obtaining a pharmacy license.
