Florida Medical License Service

The Florida Medical License process with MedLicense.com is averaging 60 - 90 Days (from the Florida Medical Baord application submission to issuance).   Our firm has licensed over 2500 Physicians in Florida since April 2000. In an average year, MedLicense.com will handle between 120 to 150 FL License Applications. We understand the process and can streamline the licensing experience for you.  Both USA Graduate or a Graduate of a Foreign Medical School will benefit from our FL Med License Service.

MedLicense.com can move this arduous process through within a time period that will meet you needs. Your involvement in the process is kept to a minimum. The fee for our services is a one time payment of $739 (if you are practicing) or $579 (in training). Our packet is shipped to you after a 5-10 min consultation. Sign, notarize, and proof your application packet and then return it to MedLicense.com with the requested copies, photos, and addendums. Then MedLicense.com will forward the completed Medical License Application to the Florida Medical Board. Then the verification process and the required follow up with the third parties begins. Typically, within 2   to 3 months, the license is issued.

Additional Florida Medical Board Licensing Information:

The FL Med Board has changed the examination requirements for Physicians (MD). In the past the Florida Board had a Seven Year Limit on passing all 3 Steps of the USMLE. Recently the Board changed the rule to Unlimited on Attempts and Unlimited on the number of years it took to pass all 3 Steps of the USMLE. The Florida Medical Board has no limits on attempts and no limits on Years.

Florida does not accept the LMCC Canadian Medical Exam. It is one of 6 States that does not. 

All physicians are required to have practiced medicine 2 of the last 4 years in order to qualify for the Medical License. If you have not practiced medicine 2 of the last 4 years, then Florida typically will request that the Doctor pass the SPEX Examination.

The Florida Medical Board does not license D.O. Degreed Physicians.  Osteopathic Physicians are licensed by the Florida Osteopathic Medical Board. Information about the Florida Osteo Board can be found at our Florida Osteopathic Medical License link. 

IMLC Compact Participation:

The Florida Medical Board IS  a member of the IMLCC Compact Licensure System.  

New Licensure Law for Florida effective 01/01/2025

1 - Physicians who are licensed in the USA who have a malpractice claim that was paid through a settlement or judgment then the Physician can only apply to Florida through the IMLC Compact
2 - Physicians who are licensed in the USA who have a Hospital Action which is reported to the NPDB-HIPDB, may only apply to Florida through the IMLC Compact
3- Physicians who are licensed in the USA and who have a State Medical Board action that was reported to the NPDB-HIPDB may not apply for a medical license in Florida

If you are not able to apply through the IMLC Compact and have a reported event with the NPDB-HIDPB, you will not be able to apply to the State of Florida for a Medical License

If you have a pending application on file with the Florida Medical Board which was filed before this new law was put into effect 1/1/25, you will need to contact Wendy Als at the Florida Medical Board to withdraw your application (will not be a disciplinary action). You will receive a refund from the FL Medical Board.

If you do not withdraw your application you will be denied and reported to the FSMB Board Action System.
