Check the people
# How can I check the people behind an offer?
Ask who would see you: a doctor or another health professional? Get that person’s full name and the pharmacy’s name.
## Look up the doctor’s licence
State medical boards record a doctor’s licence and any public penalty the board has imposed. These penalties are called discipline.
Request the person’s licence number and type alongside their full name. Match those details to the state board’s own record.
### Find the right record
Find the board’s own website through the state-board directory linked below.
Open the medical board directory
### Read what the record can tell you
An entry with no public penalty listed tells you only that the board lists none. Care quality is a separate question that a clear record cannot settle.
This directory is for checking doctors. For another licence type, ask which state board holds its record.
## Check the pharmacy as well
Pharmacies have a separate licensing board, with its own public records.
Put the actual pharmacy’s name beside the medicine name on your notes. Use it for the licence lookup.
FDA (Food and Drug Administration) supplies these pharmacy-search links.
Find the pharmacy search for your state
The listing proves a licence exists; it cannot tell you whether all of the pharmacy’s work is appropriate.
Most states require a pharmacy outside the state to hold a licence or permit before shipping medicine to people there. This US information is dated 26 September 2026.
Confirm that rule with the board for the state where the medicine would go.
## Separate a licence from other official records
Accreditation, a check against standards, is different from a pharmacy licence.
FDA registration puts the business’s details in the agency’s records. That entry gives no approval to the business or its medicines. This US rule is dated 26 September 2026.
Keep that separate from the state pharmacy licence you looked up above.
To the visit service: which state board holds the licence for the person seeing me? To the pharmacy: where can I check your pharmacy licence?
