# Match the person to the right board

Get the full name and professional role of the person making the treatment decision. Credentials are the qualifications they claim; a board record helps check the licence.

## The title versus the record

### The title on a page

Write down the role exactly. Ask for the licence number or other details needed to match the record.

### The board record

Arizona restricts which earlier board decisions about a licence can appear on a board’s website, as of October 6, 2026. Finding no record of past trouble does not prove there has never been any. Some records can be requested from the board. [Arizona law · Public records ↗ ](https://www.azleg.gov/ars/32/03214.htm) 

A matching licence record answers a different question from whether a treatment suits you.

## Check the match

- Match the full name, role, and licence details. 

- Read the status and any board decisions shown. 

- Ask whether the person’s licence allows them to order this medicine for you. 

- For a video visit, ask which licence or other board permission lets the prescriber treat you where you will be sitting. Ask how to check it with their board. 

## Use the board for the role

Arizona’s Medical Board search covers MDs, meaning medical doctors, as checked October 3, 2026. [Arizona Medical Board · Doctor search ↗ ](https://www.azmd.gov/DoctorSearch/DoctorSearch) 

Arizona has a separate board and licence search for DO doctors, checked October 3, 2026. [Arizona board for DOs · Doctor search ↗ ](https://azdo.gov/find-your-do) 

As of October 3, 2026, the Nursing Board offers checks for nursing licences and certificates for nurses with extra training. A nurse practitioner is a nurse who can make treatment decisions within their training. Verify the nurse’s licence as well as the certificate tied to that role. [Arizona Nursing Board · Verification ↗ ](https://azbn.gov/) 

Ask a nurse practitioner for the certificate name and number that match their care role.

PAs, meaning physician assistants, have their own Arizona board’s search, checked October 3, 2026. [Arizona PA Board · Search ↗ ](https://www.azpa.gov/) 

## Keep this answer

Save the record details and your unresolved questions. A professional title alone leaves the match unfinished.
