Requesting a License / Registration Verification

Public Inquiry of the Board Issued License/Registration/Permit

You can use the following search tools to find a practitioner and lookup licensure, registration, training, and disciplinary actions, or to verify a licensure/registration issued by the Board, including Acupuncturists, Athletic Trainers, Traditional Midwives, Naturopathic Doctors, Physician Assistants, Professional Firms, Physicians and Surgeons, Respiratory Therapists and Telemedicine.

The license information in the search results has been designed and implemented to meet primary source verification requirements of the Joint Commission accredited hospitals and the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) certified managed care organizations, and it can be used as the primary source verification. See Primary Source Verification Letter (PDF) .

The above search tools will not display temporary permits.  For temporary permit information, please email the Board at medical.board@state.mn.us.    

State-to-State Online Verification for Physician, Physician Assistant (PA), Respiratory Therapist, and Genetic Counselor Licenses

The Minnesota Board of Medical Practice contracts with VeriDoc Inc. to use its website to expedite the verification process of physician, physician assistant, respiratory therapist, and genetic counselor licenses to participating licensing boards in other states. The board transfers licensure information to VeriDoc, Inc. daily. Go to http://www.veridoc.org to have a verification letter sent to another participating state board. You may select verification of your physician assistant license or physician license (inc. temporary permit and/or residency permit) or just your temporary/residency permit/telemedicine registration to another participating state.  If you have paid for a Minnesota verification through VeriDoc and it was not received by the other state, please contact support@veridoc.org.
