Pursuant to A.R.S. § 25-320(P), disclosure of your social security account number to this agency is required. The Arizona State Board of Podiatry Examiners' ("Board") request for social security numbers of the Board's applicants and licensees are for the purposes of identification and for carrying out the Board's statutory obligations. Your social security number will not be released to the general public. However, your social security number may be released to any authorized person pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(c)(2)(C)(viii)(III). The Board may also use your social security number as a confidential identifier when inquiring about your education, background or fitness to practice. (An example of this type of use would be to request information from the National Practitioner’s Data Bank).

Telephonic and website inquiries will provide the licensee’s Arizona history, contact information and information on any disciplinary and non-disciplinary action(s) taken against a licensee by the Board. Written verifications provide a stamped and signed written license history report with copies of any Board actions. Detailed educational information for podiatrists is a public record; however, that information is not provided in a routine written or verbal license verification request. To obtain that information, a written Public Records Reproduction Request must be submitted along with the associated fee. Fees for written license verifications must be submitted with the request. Board staff will not complete verification requests received without the necessary fee(s).

A directory of licensed podiatrists may be obtained by submitting a written Public Records Reproduction Request form. That form is available on the Forms and Applications page. The cost is 25 cents per name for non-commercial purposes and $3.00 per name for commercial purposes.

Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statute § 32-3214, the Board is prohibited from listing on this website any information regarding non-disciplinary actions taken against any podiatrist. (A non-disciplinary action may include a Letter of Concern or a non-disciplinary order for continuing medical education.) Also, the disciplinary actions listed on this website are inclusive of actions taken from January 1, 1990 to present. Information regarding non-disciplinary actions or disciplinary actions which occurred prior to January 1, 1990, can be obtained by visiting the Board’s office or contacting Board staff.
