REQUEST FOR OFFICIAL LICENSE/REGISTRATION CERTIFICATION
Each state requires different forms of certification of licensure. Please check with the state where you are applying to see what is required before requesting certification from Idaho. Certifications can be obtained two ways from Idaho:
1. Free primary source verification of license/registration status may be obtained via the web at license search. These certifications contain all public information.
2. If the receiving state doesn’t accept web-based certifications or requires information exempt from third-party disclosure (example: exam scores) to be included in the certification, use this form, which must include a $10.00 fee.
Q: If I move to Idaho, do I have to have a license certification?
A. Yes. You will need to contact the state board(s) where you are or have been licensed and have them send a license certification directly to the Board at bcb@dopl.idaho.gov.

The license/registration issued to you by the Division is public proof that you are entitled to pursue certain activities regulated by Idaho Law. If your license/registration becomes lost or destroyed, you may obtain a replacement from the Division. A replacement may also be requested if you have changed your name or address and wish to receive a license/registration bearing the updated information.
You may complete the Application for Duplicate License form online, print it out and sign it, and send it with the fee required by Idaho law to the Division. Your application will not be processed unless the fee is received with the application. A replacement card will be sent to the mailing address.
