Section 71-108
Credential; registry record; contents; applications from other states; form.

The name, date and place of birth, location or post office address, school and date of graduation, date of examination and ratings or grades received, and date of a credential if one is issued of all applicants for examination in the several professions regulated by the Uniform Licensing Law shall be entered in a record kept in the office of the department to be known as the registry record. A separate registry record shall be kept for each profession, the names of applicants in that profession shall be given consecutive numbers, and all other records relating to that application or the credential granted pursuant to that application shall be given the same number. A list shall also be kept of those granted credentials in the several professions. Applications for a credential shall be upon forms prepared by the department, and the completed applications shall be kept as a part of the permanent files of the department. If the applicant is an individual, the application shall include the applicant's social security number. All applications based on credentials granted in other states shall be received upon forms prepared by the department and entered in the registry records as nearly as may be in the same form as are those applying for examinations. In addition, the date of credentialing and the length of time of practice in the other state shall be given and entered. An applicant for credentialing in this state shall not be required to resubmit information previously submitted in connection with an application for credentialing made in this state or another jurisdiction unless requested by the department. The data in any or all of such records may be maintained in computer files, placed upon microfilm, or stored in a similar form. All such records, in whatever form, shall be available for public inspection, as defined by rules and regulations of the department. Investigational records, reports, and files pertaining to an application shall not be a public record until action is taken to grant or deny the application and may be withheld from disclosure thereafter under section 84-712.05. Social security numbers obtained under this section shall not be public information but may be shared by the department for administrative purposes if necessary and only under appropriate circumstances to ensure against any unauthorized access to such information.
