NABP Verify Terms and Conditions
The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®) offers NABP Verify, a license verification and monitoring service for qualifying pharmacists to show that their licenses are in good standing. Boards of pharmacy in the United States that are part of the NABP Verify program may recognize or approve credential holders to perform pharmacy-related services in the applicable state or jurisdiction. NABP Verify validates that at least one license or registration is active and in good standing and that no current disciplinary action is in effect. Once verified, the NABP Verify credential holder is subject to ongoing monitoring to ensure a license or registration is in good standing and active and the holder or any license is not currently subject to a disciplinary action.
The professional credential verification services offered through NABP Verify are considered background checking services under federal and state law. Although NABP does not conduct traditional background screenings, such as credit and criminal checks, the Association complies with federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and similar state laws.
For more information about the FCRA, visit either NABP’s FCRA informational website or the Federal Trade Commission’s Credit Reporting site. For more information about your rights under the FCRA, please review the following document: Summary of Your Rights Under the FCRA.

- You are responsible for meeting the Program Requirements (Requirements) at the time of application, during the application process, and while holding a Program credential.
- You are responsible for knowing and understanding the practice authority granted by the state to an active Program credential in the states where you practice pharmacy.
- NABP will validate that you meet the Program Requirements prior to issuing a Program credential. If you do not meet the Requirements, NABP will not issue a Program credential and will close your application.
- If you meet the Requirements, NABP will issue the Program credential and will monitor your adherence to the Requirements. If you do not adhere to the Requirements, NABP will inactivate your Program credential and Subscription.
- NABP may update the Requirements from time to time at NABP’s sole discretion.
- Neither NABP nor the Program issues licenses or registrations authorizing the practice of pharmacy or the provision of pharmacy-related services in any state or jurisdiction.
- A state or jurisdictional board of pharmacy must recognize, accept, or approve the Program credential to practice pharmacy or provide pharmacy-related services in the corresponding state or jurisdiction.

If you do so within 30 days of the non-issuance or inactivation of the Program credential you will avoid incurring additional cost. If an error occurred, NABP will issue a coupon code that will enable you to re-apply to the Program at no additional cost subject to compliance with the Subscription terms and conditions. NABP’s dispute process applies when NABP is notified of a potential inaccuracy.
- You authorize the release of any and all information to NABP from federal, state, provincial, or local regulatory agencies in each state or jurisdiction where you hold or held a license or registration for the purpose of validating that you meet the Requirements.
- If you meet the requirements, you reserve the right to close a state specific credential, in the event you decide to discontinue practice utilizing the credential in that state, without effect to any other state credential(s) you hold.
- The terms of the NABP Privacy Policy and Terms of Use apply to the Program and your use of Program services.
