1. The parent/guardian residing at the same address as the patient should first submit the patient registration application.
2. The parent/guardian residing at the same address as the patient should submit the parent/guardian application.

Any other parent/guardian who has also been issued a written certification and in need of obtaining board registration should submit the parent/guardian application to the board.
