Verifications

The Art Therapy Credentials Board requires a completed verification request for exam scores, credential standing, and supervision hours. Please indicate the first and last name used on the application or when taking the examination for verifications. 

The verification fee is $25. This fee covers the administrative costs of completing, managing and mailing the verification request. If multiple verifications are needed, a separate verification is required for each.
