DHP DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS FOR NON-SUBSCRIBERS

Department of Health Professions licensee’s records are updated weekly. You can download records from one board at a time, or all boards. You may choose to download a status of Active, Expired or both.

NOTE: Virginia.gov does NOT provide technical support for DHP downloads.

The following directions will explain how to access records with this online non-subscription service. Please read the directions carefully to fully understand the process before you begin.

Option 2 – Access As A Non-Subscriber

Entities who do not wish to become subscribers may access the information by entering a secure site, entering a credit card number, and selecting the information they would like to receive in an electronic file. This file is not formatted to be easily placed in an office database. There will be a 4% charge added to the fee for the records to cover credit card fees.

The format return from this option will look like this in a straight text format with eleven lines of text and one empty line and then repeat:

license_number
occupation_name
full_name
address1
address2
city
state
zip
initial_license_date

For example:

1. Choose “Access as a Non-subscriber.” This data is not formatted to be placed in an office database or used for mailing labels. If you would like this capability, please use option 1 (premium subscription).

2. Select the Board you would like to download.

3. You may choose a specific occupation under the boards. Or you may choose the “All” option to download the entire board.

4. If you would like to breakdown your selection by location in Virginia, you may do so here. Otherwise, leave the choice at “All” to download for the entire state. You may download for multiple locations. To do so, make your first area selection and then hold down the CONTROL (CTRL) key while simultaneously choosing (clicking with your mouse) the locations. Keep the CTRL key down until all locations are selected. *Make sure that the ‘ALL’ option is NOT selected. If it is, you will receive all of the records plus the area(s) you have selected.

ZIPPED FILE: You must have an unzip program installed on your computer. Please check this box if you would like to download the file in zipped (compressed file) format. Zipped file is only available if you download data from All Boards and from All Locations.

Once you have made all of your choices, click on the “PROCEED TO STEP TWO” button.

You should now see a screen that allows you to review your choices for downloading. It also gives you the total number of records you will be downloading along with any additional fees involved. Enter your credit card information. If all the information is accurate, click on the “Start downloading” button to begin the download process. By selecting to download the information, you are agreeing to pay the fees shown on the screen. You will be charged each time the "Start Downloading" button is pressed.
