Panel Chairmen

The panel chairmen are attorneys appointed by the Idaho State Bar.

Hearings

The panel chairman schedules and conducts hearings. It is important that panelists and persons involved appear at the time and place hearings are scheduled.

The law does not require the claimant to be represented by an attorney.

Q: I have let my license lapse, what must I do to activate that license?

A: A license that has been lapsed less than five years may be reinstated upon submission of a renewal application together with the payment of all back renewal fees, a license re-instatement fee, and proof of completion of continuing education as required in the rules. If a license has been lapsed for more than five years, a new application for licensure is required.

Q: How do I request an official verification of my license in Idaho?

A: 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 in two ways:

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.”
If the receiving state doesn’t accept web-based certifications or requires information exempt from third-party disclosure (ex: exam scores), you will need to request a Certified Licensure History Letter through your Online Services Account. There is a $10.00 fee for this service which is paid online.
1. From your online profile, select the “Menu” link in the tile of the license you want a letter for.
2. Select “Request a Certified Licensure History Letter.”
3. You will be prompted to answer a question and proceed through a payment process.

PLEASE NOTE: Physicians and physician assistants may obtain primary source license verifications online through VeriDoc.

Q: What are the requirements for continuing education?

A: Prior to renewal of each license as set forth by the expiration date on the face of the certificate, physician assistants shall attest to maintenance of certification by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants or similar certifying agency approved by the Board, which certification requires a minimum of one hundred (100) hours of continuing medical education over a two-year (2) period.

Q: How do I request license verifications from other state boards?

A: Use VeriDoc to request license verifications from other state boards.
