National Commission of State Opticianry Regulatory Boards

The purpose of NCSORB is to provide state opticianry licensing boards a forum for education, assessment,
exchange of information, and research that further strengthens licensing laws to lessen the burden of government
and operations, and to better serve public needs and further the common welfare and well-being of the community.
NCSORB provides a national forum on issues related to opticianry licensure.

All candidate information is submitted from the State opticianry boards to NCSORB for candidates who meet the eligibility requirements and have paid the appropriate fees to the test administrator.
