Apply for a denturist licence

All denturists practising in Yukon must register and hold a current Yukon licence.

We accept new applications on an ongoing basis. You only need to apply once. But you must renew your licence every year.

All denturist licences expire annually on March 31.

Eligibility

You're eligible to register and apply for a denturist licence if:

• you hold a current denturist licence in another Canadian jurisdiction; and
• you're in good standing in that jurisdiction.

If you've had any complaints, disciplinary or criminal action against you:

• we will assess your eligibility for registration or licensure on a case-by-case basis; and
• you may not be approved for registration or licensing.

Download the application form.

Complete all sections of the form . Do not leave a section blank. You may enter "not applicable" when it's relevant.

Tips

• Make sure to mark on the top of the form whether you're applying for:
  • a resident; or
  • a non-resident licence.
• Choose non-resident if you will practice in Yukon for less than a 3-month period in a licensing year.
• We may return incomplete applications.

Current photo ID

• Provide 1 copy of a piece of photo ID.
• The ID must be issued by a territorial, provincial or federal government body.
• The ID must show your current legal name.
• We do not accept a healthcare card as a form of ID.

Certificate(s) of standing

We require this from all licence applicants.

A certificate of standing is an official document that includes:

• your registration and licensing history;
• any limits and restrictions on your licence; and
• any complaints or disciplinary action against you.

Ask the regulatory body of each jurisdiction you’re licensed in to provide a certificate.

• You must provide a certificate for each jurisdiction.
• Each certificate must be dated no more than 90 days before your application.
• Have the regulatory body send the certificate(s) directly to Professional Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.
• We do not accept certificates of standing submitted by applicants.
