The Board's duty is to ensure that Oregonians receive appropriate medical care from qualified professionals. The reactivation process helps us honor that responsibility. If you are returning to active or paid practice in Oregon, you must reactivate your license.
Reactivation Applications are now online!
Please submit your application at least 90 days before you wish to change your status. This will allow time to receive the required documents and for Board staff to process the application.
Please read the following instructions carefully as omissions or incorrect information will delay the processing of the application, which will in turn delay the beginning date of your practice in Oregon.
Items to be Sent From the Licensee
Fees: The $98 reactivation fee includes fees for application processing and for fingerprint processing.
Please note that back fees such as renewal and late fees may be applicable and will be evaluated and communicated to you once your application is initially processed.
Fingerprints: Fingerprinting requirements can be found here.
Items to be Sent Directly From the Primary Source
Health Related Employment Verification: Request a verification of employment directly from any health related employer you have worked for since the time you last renewed your Oregon license or during the past 5 years, whichever is most recent. The verification must show the beginning and ending dates of employment as well as answers to questions regarding performance during the period of employment or staff membership. Please use the Verification of Practice, Employment, Staff Membership Form.
Personal History Documentation: For affirmative answers to Personal History Questions, if applicable.
Items Obtained by Staff
OMB staff will obtain the following documentation for your reactivation:
- National Practitioner DataBank Report
- Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) Disciplinary Report
- Verification of Other State Licensure
- Verification of NCCPA Certification
Clinical Competency and Re-Entry to Practice
If you have been out of practice for 12 or more consecutive months immediately prior to applying for reactivation of Oregon licensure, additional requirements may apply. Please review the
