Pre-Licensure Criminal History Evaluation

Individuals can request an evaluation of their criminal history and potential eligibility for licensure prior to application for licensure as a physician, physician assistant, acupuncturist, medical radiologic technologist, non-certified radiological technician, respiratory care practitioner, medical physicist, or perfusionist.

This evaluation is not a guarantee of eligibility for licensure. Applicants must meet all licensure requirements that are in place at the time of their licensure application submission.

Do not apply for a Pre-Licensure Criminal History Evaluation Letter if you are a current licensure applicant or you currently hold an active license to practice in Texas. Licensure applicants will have criminal history evaluated as part of the licensure application.

To request a pre-licensure criminal history evaluation, complete the application and submit it with a $100 fee to the Board.

Once your application is received, you will be issued a six-digit identification number so that you can register to Get Fingerprints. Fingerprinting services will be provided by IdentoGo by IDEMIA for a fee, payable directly to IdentoGo. Results of the fingerprinting will be sent from the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Records and the Federal Bureau of Investigations directly to the TMB. Refer to the Submit Fingerprints Helpful Link for more information on the fingerprinting process.
