Step 1: Logon to Online System

• At the DORA Imaged Documents Online screen, click on the Click here to view documents button

Step 2: Select Type of Image to View

• Select Division of Registrations Disciplinary Documents and click the Log On button.

Step 3: Review and Select one of the four Search Criteria options

Step 4: Enter Search Criteria

Your search will produce a maximum of 1000 records per search even though the actual number of records may be greater.  To narrow your search and minimize the wait time, enter as much search information as possible.

For DIS-Entity Name.  Use this option to enter the correct spelling of the Entity or Company Name.

For DIS-Last Name.  Use this option to enter the correct spelling of the individual licensee’s last name.  Please note that the documents are indexed under the licensee's name as it was at the time the discipline was issued (i.e. if they change their name in the future it is not updated in this system).  It may be advantageous to search using the license type and number if it is known.

For DIS-Licensing Board.  Use the drop down list to specify the name of the State licensing board or program.  This search option will produce all records on the system for the specified board.

For DIS-Other Search Options.  Eight fields are displayed and can be used to search. Any combination of these fields may be used to narrow your search for records.  

The system is intended to search for a range of data.  When using DIS-Other Search Options, information could be entered to both fields in the right and left columns. Doing so will provide a search range. For example, searching by Last Name, from Smith to Wesley, returns all last names found between the spellings. The column on the left is the beginning value field and the one on the right is the ending value field. If you leave the right column blank when you have entered a value in the left column, the search will look for everything greater than or equal to the left column. 

If you are unsure of the spelling, you can type a portion of the word and the system will return everything beginning with those characters. For example, if you enter Bro, you will receive all of the records that begin with Bro, which will include Brown, Brower, Brother, etc... You do not have to use a wildcard - *

Step 5: Submit Query

• Click on "Submit Query" button

The Request screen appears showing the Total Requested number of folders and documents and displays the first twenty-five (25) records of your search.  Each record is a link to an image that can be viewed, printed or saved.
