Address of record
The Department of Health Professions (DHP) is required to collect an official address of record from each health professional. This address is used by DHP for agency purposes and may be provided as public information. DHP is also required to give health professionals the opportunity to provide an alternate address for dissemination to the public. If no second (public) address is provided, the official address of record is given to the public. An individual is not required to submit a place of residence for either the official address of record or the public address. A post office box or a practice location is acceptable. Changes to either address are required within 30 days of any change and may be made at any time by accessing your licensure information through the online system or by written notification to the Board.
