Before you can become licensed in the state of Maine
to practice optometry, you must meet the requirements to take
the Maine State Board of Optometry examination. The exam is
conducted twice a year, in February and in August.
The Application and all supporting
information, including your National Board of Examiners in
Optometry official scores, must be received by the Board at
least thirty (30) days prior to the examination date. No applications
will be considered unless accompanied by all transcripts,
supporting information, and the $200.00 application fee. See
Instructions for Filing
Application.
The Board recognizes and accepts the value of the National
Board of Examiners in Optometry (NBEO) examination and requires
that all applicants for the Maine State Board of Optometry
examination must have passed all three Parts of the NBEO examination,
including all sections of the Treatment and Management of
Ocular Diseases (TMOD) examination.
If you need assistance or have questions, you may contact
us at (207)624-8691 or email.
Please note: According to Maine Law, when you pass
the exam, you are given an active license if you practice
in Maine, a non-active license if you do not. Within three
years, the non-active license can be converted to an active
license upon request, if you are practicing in Maine. After
that time, you will have to retake the exam in order to obtain
an active license again.
