Verification of ABOR Certification

The AAB Board of Registry (ABOR) provides primary source verification for all ABOR certificants. Verification of ABOR certification may be completed online, with immediate feedback, by placing an order through the ABOR verifications form on the AAB website. Results will only include certifications that were active within the last three years.

If you wish to verify an ABB Supervisor, Consultant or Laboratory Director, click here for ABB certification verification.

Online results regarding an individual's certification include valid end date, certification type and technical disciplines.

Provisional status (example: Medical Technologist-Provisional [MT-P(AAB)]) indicates certificants who have passed the certification examination(s) but who have not yet provided documentation of the required minimum training/experience in the applicable discipline(s).

Refer to the instructions below to order a verification of certification.

1. Online Verification provides immediate on-screen results that are available at the time the order is placed. A printable option will also be provided. The verification will not be forwarded to any third parties.  Note: online renewal payments will be processed within three (3) business days. Please allow time after an individual has renewed before using the online verification.
   • An email with a link that is valid for 24 hours will also be forward to you.
2. Written Verification (hardcopy, email, fax) for State Licensing Boards* (CA, FL, GA, HI, LA, MT, ND, NV, RI, TN, and WV) will be processed within 5 business days. You will receive a copy (by U.S. Postal Service or email) of the verification letter forwarded to the designated state agency once your request has been processed.
   
   • Please follow-up directly with the State Licensing Board concerning the status of your application for state licensure.
   * Certificant must be in good standing and all fees must be current.
   
   NOTE: For ABOR 'Group' Examinations Administered in Florida and California only:
   
   • Passing examination results for California and Florida licensure will be forwarded to California Laboratory Field Services (LFS) or Florida's state licensure board after you receive your examination scores, but only if you signed a consent form** at the time of the examination. The consent form must also confirm that you have already applied for license in the state and that your licensure application is in progress. Failing scores will not be sent, regardless of whether the consent form was completed.
   **If the consent form was not signed at the time of the examination, you must submit the signed written request to the ABOR office before we will release your scores to the licensure agency. 
3. Written Verification to a Third Party (e.g., Employer, Screening Agency, Background Search Firm) will be processed within 5 business days. In addition, the certificate holder will also receive a copy of the verification letter forwarded by U.S. Postal Service or fax once the request has been processed.
