Pharmacy Technician Information & Forms
If you have never been licensed in Oregon as a Pharmacy Technician and do not have your National Certification, or your license has been lapsed since September 30, 2006 please complete the following application:
The Pharmacy Technician License is now a 1-year, non-renewable license. Per Oregon Administrative Rule 855-025-0010, all pharmacy technicians must become nationally certified one year after initial licensure or before the licensee’s 19th birthday, whichever is later. This means you must become licensed as a Certified Oregon Pharmacy Technician to continue working as a technician.
To be licensed as a Certified Oregon Pharmacy Technician, you must:
- Have a high school diploma or GED at the time the Board issues the license;
- Take and pass a national certification exam through PTCB or ICPT;
