License Certification For Out-of-State

Do you need written license certification to obtain licensure in another state? Health care boards from other states usually require written license certification before considering your application. Also, insurance companies and prospective employers may require written certification of your licensure in Florida. Certification is a specially generated Department of Health document that includes the licensure status and disciplinary history of an individual or facility licensed by the Division of Medical Quality Assurance. We also generate certificates of non-licensure, which is a Department of Health document that states that there is no record of licensure for an individual or facility with the name and/or spelling provided, in the profession requested.

Medical Quality Assurance makes it easy to place your request for certification online using the MQA services Web site and because you do not have to write or mail a check, processing time is seven to 10 days faster. For your convenience the system accepts MasterCard, VISA, Discover and American Express.
