In order to obtain a license in Nevada, we will need proof of the out-of-country license, schooling, and training. All of these documents must be translated to English by an approved translator found, here. Once the documents are translated, they must be submitted for approval along with the Translation Affidavit from your translator. Once we receive and review the documents, we will be able to determine if the applicant needs to go back to school to complete a certain amount of hours, complete a full program, or be eligible to test for a license right away.

 

The documents you will need to submit for approval are as follows:

• Translation Affidavit from your translator.

• Hour breakdown from regulatory agency in your country (original documents and translated copies)

• Passport-quality photo

• Passport Book (All pages, blank pages included)

• Social Security card or ITIN card or ITIN letter from the IRS

• Driver's license or identification card from the U.S. 

• Any name change documents (Marriage Certificate, Divorce Decree, Citizenship Documents, etc)

• Completed application and payment

If you are unable to provide all of the above documents, please provide as many as you can to support your training and experience. Submit these documents for review in person or online here, you will choose Option G for reviewing documents.

Applicants with training from schools in Vietnam will not be accepted. Training for cosmetology services in Vietnam is not equivalent to the training required in the state of Nevada. These individuals will need to complete a program at a licensed school of cosmetology in Nevada or at a school within the United States recognized by the Nevada State Board of Cosmetology.
