# Where do I submit my THW Doula application?

Your application and documents are submitted via email to [thw.program@dhsoha.state.or.us](mailto:thw.program@dhsoha.state.or.us). 

Once everything is submitted, you’ll receive an email to give permission to the state to conduct a background check. **Make sure you’re checking your spam folder and respond ASAP!** If you haven’t heard anything regarding your application within six weeks, email the THW Program at [thw.program@dhsoha.state.or.us](mailto:thw.program@dhsoha.state.or.us).

Once you are certified, you will receive a letter with a certification ID number and an expiration date. You will also be added to the [traditional health worker registry](https://traditionalhealthworkerregistry.oregon.gov/).
