Credential Verifications

Credential Verifications

If you are applying for licensure in another state, and need verification of your credentials sent to that state, please follow the steps below:

If you hold an active/or have an expired/retired dental, dental hygiene or dental therapy license:

There is no paperwork required to verify your credentials. Your new licensing board will need to use our online verification system to verify your Oregon license, which is available here: https://online.oregondentistry.org/#/verifylicense

 All state boards were made aware of this policy in 2017, and have proceeded accordingly since that time. No exceptions will be made to this policy. Below is a letter signed by our executive director that was sent to all state boards in March of 2017, explaining how to use our online verification system.
