State agencies in Oregon may issue temporary licenses to the military spouses licensed in good
standing in another state with substantially equivalent licensure requirements. The military spouse
must demonstrate competency as determined by the licensing board. Temporary licenses are valid
for a period not to exceed 2 years and may not be renewed.

who:

another state and the professional licensing board determines that the other state’s authorization
requirements are substantially similar to those of the professional licensing board;
(c) Provides to the professional licensing board, in a manner determined by the professional
licensing board, sufficient proof that the person is in good standing with the issuing out-of-state
professional licensing board; and
(d) Has demonstrated competency, as determined by the professional licensing board by rule, over
the occupational or professional service regulated by the professional licensing board.
A temporary authorization issued under this section is valid until the earliest of the following:

provide the professional service unless the person is issued a full authorization under the
laws of this state to provide the occupational or professional service.
