DOPL Online Services Change – New Licensing System Scheduled for Launch on July 1st, 2024

The Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) has partnered with FAST Enterprises LLC to develop a comprehensive system for licensing, registration, certification and permitting. This state-of-the-art system, set to launch in two stages. The first stage will be on July 1st, 2024, where all but the following Boards will transition to the new system.  

          Building Code

          Damage Prevention

          Electrical

          Elevator Program

          Factory Built Structures

          HVAC

          Industrial Safety

          Logging Safety

          Plumbing

          Public Works Contractors

          Outfitters and Guides

The second stage will occur on November 4, 2024, for the above-mentioned Boards.

Here are just a few of the improvements that you can expect with this new system: 

• Applications for licenses, registrations, certifications, and permits can be made on-line. This will streamline the process of reviewing applications and providing final determinations on the applications faster.
• You can view your license online.
• You can print your license, registration, certification, or permit from home.
• Communication from DOPL on upcoming renewals will be based on your preference. You may receive a physical mailed notification, or an email notification or a text message.
• You will be able to create an on-line profile to upload documents needed for your application or renewal.
