Request for Predetermination of Criminal History

Pursuant to §54.1-204.1 of the Code of Virginia, an individual who does not possess a credential may submit a Request for Predetermination of Criminal History to determine whether his or her criminal record would disqualify him or her from being credentialed. By submitting this Request, you are seeking a review of your criminal record to determine whether your criminal record may disqualify you from licensure, certification, or registration.

Efficient Processing, Intuitive Customer Experience: EPICx

The Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation has officially discontinued the EPICx project. EPICx was initially developed to enhance licensing and regulatory processes, but after a thorough evaluation, we have determined that it will not proceed further.

DPOR remains fully committed to improving our systems and enhancing services for our regulants and the public. We will continue to evaluate strategic paths for modernization and innovation that align with the needs of our regulatory boards and stakeholders.
