PLA Digital Certification

This service provides you with a digitally certified verification which may be used as proof of licensure when applying to another state. The total fee for this service is $10.60. The Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA) has had this service in place since 2009. Please be aware that IPLA does not mail or email verifications to you or to anyone else on your behalf. Mobile devices are not recommended for this process. Laptop or desktop computers are recommended for the file to download properly. Digitally certified license records are delivered and viewable in .pdf format and require Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Please follow the instructions below carefully and if you encounter any issues, contact IPLA IMMEDIATELY, as refunds will not be issued. Any alterations (including changing the name) to the downloaded digitally certified PDF will result in invalidating the certification. If the document is invalidated, you will need to repurchase the document.
