Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Upfront Payment & Refund Terms and Conditions?

When you choose Upfront Payment, you save up to 25% on our licensing services. Additionally, you're entitled to a 15-day, no-questions-asked refund from the date of purchase. If you request a refund within this period, we'll process it promptly. Please note that refunds may exclude any state fees already paid on your behalf or services that have already been initiated with licensing boards. View the complete refund policy here.

Who can use the DirectShifts licensing service?

We support physicians (MD/DO), nurse practitioners (NPs), registered nurses (RNs), behavioral health providers (LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, etc.), and other clinicians seeking state licensure or multi-state expansion.

Can DirectShifts help with multi-state licensing?

Yes. Whether through interstate compacts (IMLC for physicians, NLC for nurses where possible) or individual state applications, we make the multi-state licensing process simple and stress-free.

Does your service fee cover the state license fee?

No. Our fee covers the administrative support, paperwork preparation, and end-to-end assistance we provide. State boards charge their own licensing fees separately, which must be paid directly to them. We’ll outline these costs for you upfront.

How long does the licensing process take?

Timelines vary by state and by profession. Some compact states process licenses within weeks, while others may take 2–3 months. We help minimize delays by ensuring your application is complete and accurate.

What documents do I need to provide?

Requirements differ by state and occupation, but often include your active license details, education transcripts, supervised hours or training documentation, board certification (if applicable), and a resume/CV. Once you sign up, we’ll provide a tailored checklist.

Do you assist with renewals and reinstatements?

Yes. We manage renewals so you don’t miss critical deadlines, and if a license lapses, we help with reinstatement.

Can you help with DEA and controlled substance registration (CSR)?

Yes. For eligible clinicians, we can assist with DEA registration and state-specific CSR applications.

Why should I use DirectShifts instead of applying on my own?

Each state has different requirements, forms, and timelines, which can be overwhelming. DirectShifts streamlines the process, reduces paperwork errors, tracks deadlines, and helps you expand across multiple states with less hassle.

How do I pay for the service?

We provide a secure online payment link. You can pay per state or choose bundled packages for multi-state applications.

Is my personal information secure?

 Absolutely. All information is handled with strict confidentiality and in compliance with HIPAA and state privacy regulations.

  • If the customer chooses to request a refund, all work on their application will pause immediately.
4. When a Refund Is Not Applicable

Refunds will not be granted if:

  • The customer requests a refund after the 15-day window.
  • DirectShifts has already completed significant portions of the service such as:

    • Document gathering
    • Verification follow-ups
    • Application assembly
    • State communication on behalf of the customer
  • The licensing application has already been submitted to a state board.

7. Service Pausing & Re-Engagement

  • The customer may re-enroll in the licensing service at any time but will be treated as a new registration.
8. Policy Changes
  • DirectShifts reserves the right to modify or withdraw the 15-day refund policy at any time.
  • Any changes will not affect customers who have already purchased under the existing terms.
9. Upfront Payment Discount Terms

The upfront payment discount is only applicable when:

  • The full payment is made at the time of submitting the licensing form, and
  • Before any consultation call is scheduled or conducted by the DirectShifts licensing team.

The discount will not be applied if:

  • The customer chooses to pay after a call, or
  • The customer requests to split payments, delay payment, or use any alternative payment method that does not meet the upfront requirement.

Once the upfront payment is processed, the discounted rate is considered final and non-transferable. If the customer later requests a refund, it will be governed strictly by the 15-day refund policy outlined above.
