Scam Alert

​The Kentucky Board of Pharmacy has been made aware that some licensees have received fraudulent communications from individuals claiming to be from the Board of Pharmacy, or another agency, such as the DEA. The communications, often by phone, and even by letter may threaten arrest or license suspension, demand personal information, or require the payment of fines. Please note:
  • Phone calls may “spoof” appear to be from our number;
  • If you need to verify the identity of a KY Board of Pharmacy investigator, call 502-564-7910 or email pharmacy.board@ky.gov
  • The Kentucky Board of Pharmacy will never demand that you provide personally identifying information, such as social security number, date of birth, bank or credit card account numbers over the phone;
  • These type of licensing scams are a problem nationwide.

If you believe you are the recipient of a fraudulent communication claiming to be from the Kentucky Board of Pharmacy:

The Drug Enforcement Administration also has warned of imposters posing as DEA agents. Information and reporting of these scams can be found at this DEA website​.

License/Registration Lookup​​​

The Kentucky Board of Pharmacy website is considered primary source verification and is actually the preferred method of licensure verification. Both JCAHO and the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Office of the Inspector General, consider verification through the website as evidence of licensure.

Any disciplinary actions prior to 1997 may not be displayed.

A certified verification request can be found on the search result page for immediate delivery via email. There is a $5.00 fee for the certified verification.
