333.051. 1. Any individual holding a valid, unrevoked and unexpired license as a funeral director or embalmer in the state of his or her residence may be granted a license to practice funeral directing or embalming in this state on application to the board and on providing the board with such evidence as to his or her qualifications as is required by the board.

2. Any individual holding a valid, unrevoked and unexpired license as an embalmer or funeral director in another state having requirements substantially similar to those existing in this state may apply for a license to practice in this state by filing with the board a certified statement from the examining board of the state or territory in which the applicant holds his or her license showing the grade rating upon which the license was granted, together with a recommendation, and the board shall grant the applicant a license upon his or her successful completion of an examination over Missouri laws as required in section 333.041 or section 333.042 if the board finds that the applicant's qualifications meet the requirements for funeral directors or embalmers in this state at the time the applicant was originally licensed in the other state.

3. A person holding a valid, unrevoked and unexpired license to practice funeral directing or embalming in another state or territory with requirements less than those of this state may, after five consecutive years of active experience as a licensed funeral director or embalmer in that state, apply for a license to practice in this state after passing a test to prove his or her proficiency, including but not limited to a knowledge of the laws and regulations of this state as to funeral directing and embalming.
