How do I order a paper copy of my Self-Query response?
You must have an active subscription in your personal account to order a paper copy of the Self-Query response. Mailed copies are $13.00 each and are sent by U.S. First Class Certified Mail. A signature is required upon delivery.
To order a paper copy:
- Select Sign In on the top right of the NPDB home page, then select Personal Account.
- On the Self-Query/View Your Report Sign In page, select Sign in.
- Sign in to your personal account with your ID.me email and password.
- Once subscribed, select Your Subscription in your personal account.
- Select Need a mailed copy of your Self-Query response? below the Get your Self-Query response button.
- Select Order a paper copy.
- Complete the paper copy order form including number of copies, address, and payment information. Select Continue.
- Review your order to ensure it is correct and complete. Select Submit.
- The Order Details page will display the status of your order.
To check your order status anytime, sign in to your personal account and select Your Orders.
We encourage all organizations to accept the certified Self-Query response included in your subscription in place of mailed copies. If an organization (e.g., a state licensing board) or employer requests a sealed paper copy of your Self-Query response, do not open the envelope. Include the unopened envelope with the correspondence you send to the organization or employer, such as a state license application. The NPDB will not send Self-Query responses to a third party.
