This license verification tool provides information on medical professionals, including medical doctors, physician assistants, nurses, nursing assistants, pharmacists, psychologists, and other non-medical occupations.

Check out the steps to send an electronic verification of your medical license from the New Hampshire OPLC to another state.
Go to VeriDoc
You must use VeriDoc to request the New Hampshire OPLC to send an electronic verification of your license to another state medical licensing board.

However, only the following OPLC Boards are available via VeriDoc:
- Board of Acupuncture Licensing
- Board of Chiropractic Examiners
- Board of Medicine
- Naturopathic Board of Examiners
- Board of Nursing (excludes Licensed Nursing Assistants or Medication Nursing Assistants)
- Board of Podiatry

Requests for International License Verification and Boards not listed above must use the OPLC request form.

To find your license information, enter your last name, date of birth, and licensure type. VeriDoc will search for your details through all the state boards that use the platform.
Then, you’ll see information for each license you carry. Select which ones to include in your transaction. Note that most state boards require practitioners to verify all of the licenses they have held, active or not.
Lastly, choose which state licensing board to send the electronic verification to.
You will then see a summary of your verification statement(s), including the fee, allowing you to review all the information before completing the transaction.
