Frequently Asked Questions About the License Verification Site
Question 1: The state to which I am applying for licensure will not accept an on-line verification. What can I do?
Answer 1: You may contact the MBOT and request that the Board office prepare a verification on your behalf, per COMAR 10.46.01.02 (L), Verification of Licensure.
Question 2: I entered the person’s name and the license type of Temporary Occupational Therapist. Why did the search not find the record?
Answer 2: The individual may have an occupational
therapist license. Search again with
just the person’s last name. Or, you
might have “over-searched” meaning you are entering more data for the search than
you need. If you know the license
number, don’t enter any other search criteria.
The more criteria you enter, the higher the likelihood that you have
spelled something incorrectly. Whether
you enter search criteria in two fields or in four fields, all search criteria
must match in order to produce a matching record. So if you have the license number entered
correctly, but misspell the last name, the search will fail.
Question 3: My search produced a list that fills the
page, but only goes from A through G.
Where are the rest of the records?
Answer 3: Scroll to the bottom of the page and notice a
series of numbers 1, 2, 3, 4… The
results you are looking at for A through G are page 1. Click on 2, 3, 4, etc. to view the additional
pages.
Question 4: My search produced over 20 pages of
results. I am looking at the first page,
containing licensees whose name starts with A, but want to get to W
quickly. Is there a way to do this?
Answer 4: Notice that the column heading Full Name is
underlined. Click on the words Full Name
and the results list will be sorted alphabetically from Z to A. click on it again to sort alphabetically from
A to Z. Also be clicking on the column
heading License Number you can sort the results list alphabetically by
license number in ascending order. By
clicking License Number a second time, you can sort the results
alphabetically in descending order.
