Licensing requirements for Physicians vary from State to State. To facilitate the verification of the license status of practitioners, most States provide Medical License Lookup web tools as detailed below. In some instances, the license lookup tools below only pertain to
medical doctors and surgeons, physician assistants and doctors of osteopathy. Some States also regulate naturopathic physicians. To find naturopath license status, visit
our Naturopathic Medical License Lookup page. License verification tools for other health practitioners can be found through our Health License Lookup page. For lookup tools organized by State, go to our U.S. Medical License Lookup section.
For specialty certifications, visit Board Certification Lookup. For Canadian credentials, see Canadian Medical License Lookup.
To verify the license of a hospital, nursing home or another type of health care facility, visit out our Hospital and Health Facility License Lookup resource page.
