What does an interim permit allow an individual to do in Arizona?

An interim permit in Arizona is designed to allow individuals who have completed their educational requirements and are awaiting the issuance of their official license to practice. This permit authorizes the individual to work in their field under specific conditions, which typically include limitations on the scope of practice and potentially working under the supervision of a licensed professional.

This kind of permit serves as a transitional measure, providing a legal means for newly graduated professionals to gain practical experience while they wait for their official licensure approval. It does not grant full or unrestricted practicing rights like a permanent license would, nor does it allow for independent work without supervision. The interim permit is fundamentally a bridge that ensures that qualified candidates can start contributing to their profession while fulfilling the necessary regulatory requirements for full licensure.
