Registration will be granted contingent upon documentation of eligibility, submission of all required application material and payment of all fees. The following outlines the application, review and approval process:

1. Read the entire Model thoroughly. (Model and Application available for download here)
   


2. Complete all parts of the application. Print legibly or type the application. Be sure to include all required attachments.
   


3. Attach all required documentation to support employment and training/education (i.e., current job description, official transcripts, copies of training certificates, letters of attendance/participation).
   


4. Attach an "original copy" of a letter from your licensure or certification board verifying your license and/or certification are current and in good standing.
   


5. If a current job description is submitted, it must be on agency letterhead, dated and signed by the applicant and supervisor, and must reflect actual job duties and responsibilities performed by the applicant.
   


6. Sign the Code of Ethics for Board Registered Interventionists and have the signature notarized.
   


7. Verify the completeness of the application by using the "Checklist" in the model.
   


8. When the application is complete, mail all materials to the AISCB C/O ICB, 401 E. Sangamon Avenue, Springfield, IL 62702. Applications will not be accepted by fax or e-mail.
   


9. Once the application is approved, the applicant will be notified.
   


10. Upon approval, the applicant will be notified and invoiced for the registration fee.
    


11. Once the payment is received, the board registration will be issued to the member.
    

Upon receipt, the application and materials will be screened for completeness and accuracy. The results may be one of the following:

• Application Approved - The application meets all application standards.
  


• Application Pending - Some of the materials need clarification, submission or resubmission. The applicant will be notified in writing of any problem. Within one year of the application date, corrected materials must be submitted to the AISCB/ICB or the application will be destroyed resulting in reapplication.
  


• Application Denied - The registration standards were not met resulting in denial of application.
  

When an applicant is denied registration, questions the results of the application review, questions examination results or is subject to an action by the AISCB that the applicant deems unjustified, he or she has the right to inquire and appeal. If, after having been provided an explanation or clarification of the action of the AISCB, the applicant (complainant) still thinks that an action taken is unjustified, he or she may appeal. The applicant may appeal the decision within 30 days of receipt of the notice of denial, or any other action deemed unjustified by sending a certified letter to the President of the AISCB.

The registration system is accountable to other professionals, and the credentials are independent, private, freestanding and self-supporting. The profession determines and maintains its own standards.

To maintain the high standards of the professional practice and to assure continuing awareness of new knowledge in the field, the AISCB requires all interventionists to renew their registration every two years. It is the responsibility of each Board Registered Interventionist to maintain his/her registration. Any failure to act is the responsibility of the interventionist. The interventionist is to notify the AISCB, in writing, of any change of address.

The AISCB will send a notice that the interventionist is due for registration no fewer than 30 days prior to the expiration date. At the time of registration, 15 continuing education units and the registration fee are due. Forms for the documentation of CEUs will accompany the notification. CEUS should not be submitted until notification of expiration. Board Registered Interventionists may arrange a payment plan for the registration fee. Such requests must be received PRIOR to the expiration date. Registration will be terminated if 45 days have passed from the expiration date without payment of the registration fee and/or submission of continuing education units. Failure to respond to registration notices will result in termination of registration.

• Hold a current and valid board registration issued by the AISCB.
  


• Maintain knowledge of the discipline through obtaining 15 AISCB recognized continuing education units (CEUs) received within the two-year re-registration period.
  


• Document the CEUs on the required continuing education form provided by the AISCB with notice of re-registration, and attach documentation of attendance.
  


• Pay the biennial registration fee.
