Massage Therapy: Change your compliance officer

How to change your massage therapy compliance officer in the DOL's eLIPSE platform.

Three documents you need

If you want to change the compliance officer for your massage establishment, you will need to submit these three documents:

  1. A signed, notarized CORI Acknowledgement form from the new proposed compliance officer.
  2. A written statement from the establishment owner requesting to remove the current compliance officer (include their name and license number) and replace them with the new proposed compliance officer (include their name and license number), and the date that change takes effect.
  3. A completed Statement by Compliance Officer form by the new proposed compliance officer.

Two ways to change your compliance officer – overview

  1. You can change your compliance officer when you renew your business licenses as part of the license renewal process in DOL’s eLIPSE system.
  2. You can change your compliance officer any time by submitting a general eLIPSE support request.

How to do it

1. Changing compliance officer during license renewal

After you review and confirm your Business Details, eLIPSE will display the Compliance Officer Information screen:

  2. For the question Is the displayed Compliance Officer correct? Select No.
  3. Enter the new proposed Compliance Officer’s license number. 
  4. eLIPSE will look up the license and display the license holder’s name.
    Click the license holder’s name in the list that appears (even if it is just 1 person.)
  5. Upload the three documents listed above.
  6. Click the Next button.

Then, continue with the renewal process.

What happens next?

After you complete the renewal process (when you pay the renewal fee), the Board of Registration of Massage Therapy will review your request to update the compliance officer and contact you with a decision.

2. Changing compliance officer outside of license renewal

You can request to change your compliance officer any time using this method.

  1. The establishment owner logs in to eLIPSE.
