The Details
What you need
To print a license, update a license, or request a license verification, you must use the eLIPSE platform. See below for instructions and guides.
Print a license
For instructions on printing a license, please visit the How to print a license in the DOL's eLIPSE platform page to guide you through the process. The DOL no longer provides duplicate licenses.
Update a license
- Please visit the Change your contact information page to update your name, email, or current address.
- Please visit the Uploading additional documents to an application page if you need to provide additional documentation for an existing application.
Verifying a license
For steps on verifying a license (letter of good standing), please visit the Verify a license page for instructions.
The certified verification document provides the following public information on each licensee:
- Name
- License type
- License number
- License issuance date
- License status
- License expiration date
- Disciplinary action information
Please note that the above-listed public information is also available, free of charge, through the Division of Occupational Licensure’s public “Check a License” database.
The Board does not complete licensing verification forms from licensing authorities in other states or jurisdictions and provides only the above-listed public information to requestors.
To verify an Office of Public Safety and Inspections (OPSI) license, please use the Check a license issued by the Office of Public Safety and Inspections (OPSI) page for more information.
