Board of Dentistry

Q: Can I make a presentation at a Board Meeting?

A: If you want to request time to present at a board meeting, you can e-mail the Executive Officer with a request to be on the agenda.
All documents must be submitted 6 weeks prior to the date of the board meeting. The board chair will then consider your request and the board chair’s decision will be final.
The deadline does not apply to comments or requests related to rule-making; such deadlines are set forth in the Administrative Procedures Act and reiterated in the Board’s notices published in the Administrative Bulletin.
If you are an applicant or licensee involved in disciplinary matters, please work with the relevant program manager.

Q: How do I request license verification?

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, both through your Online Services account, they can be found under the “Menu” option once logged into your account:

1. A free Letter of Good Standing may be obtained through your Online Services Account. This letter contains
   all public information (not exam scores).
   
   1. From your online profile select the “Menu” link in the tile of the license you want a letter for.
   2. Select “Request a Good Standing Letter”.
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, you will need to request a Certified Licensure History Letter through your Online Services account. There is a $10.00 fee for this service and you will be able to pay through your online account.
   
   1. From your online profile select the “Menu” link in the tile of the
      license you want a letter for.
