Q: How do I request a verification of licensure?

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:

A free Letter of Good Standing may be obtained through your Online Services Account. This letter contains all public information (not exam scores).

From your online profile select the “Menu” link in the tile of the license you want a letter for.
Select “Request a Good Standing Letter”.

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.

From your online profile select the “Menu” link in the tile of the license you want a letter for.

You will be prompted to answer a question and proceed through a payment process.
