Petition for: Three-year limited license to practice pharmacy
under Section 6805(6) of the Education Law.
Statement of Problem: The
applicants listed below have met the education, examination and experience
requirements for licensure as a pharmacist in New York State. The only
requirement for full licensure that cannot be satisfied at this time is United

licensure, which cannot be granted until he/she satisfies the citizenship or
permanent residency requirement.
Applicable Guidelines:
Section 6805(6) of Education Law relates to the
requirement of United States citizenship or permanent resident status for
licensure as a pharmacist in New York State and allows the Board of Regents to
grant a one-time, three-year waiver (plus an extension of not more than one
year) for an alien pharmacist to practice in New York State if all other
licensure requirements are satisfied.
