Licensure & Verification Requests
Registration & Records

Current students needing a Letter of Good Standing can request it using the UMMS Universal Request Form.

All certification/verification requests must be sent as PDF attachments to [email protected].

Please be sure to include the following information:

  • Name and/or name at graduation
  • One or more of the following: date of birth, last 4-digits of social security number, year of graduation

A completed release of information waiver is required for all certification/verification requests. If your certification/verification request form does not have a release of information section on it, you will need to complete and return the UMMS Release Waiver form, in PDF format, along with your certification/verification form.

UMMS Registrar’s Office does not verify employment. Contact Human Resources for Employment Verification.

For certified copy and English translation of UMMS diplomas, contact [email protected]. For a replacement diploma, contact University of Michigan Registrar’s Office - Diplomas.

UMMS Registrar's Office does not process postgraduate verification requests.

Verification requests for fellowship, internship or residency are processed by the individual department where the postgraduate education was completed. For individual department contact information, please visit Residency & Fellowship Education.

Steps for Submitting a Certification/Verification Form

  1. Reach out to the residency program to which you matched to obtain these forms. Complete the applicant portion of your residency certification/verification form. Residency programs and state licensure agencies have very specific requirements. Our office neither provides the individual residency forms nor do we send anything automatically to programs or licensure agencies. Students must submit a request to [email protected].
  2. Complete the UMMS Release Waiver form (Note: Students will need to complete a release waiver form for each institution/location to which your certification/verification form is to be sent.)
  3. Send the completed residency certification/verification form and UMMS Release Waiver form, in PDF format, to [email protected].

Requests will be processed based on priority, as each institution/licensing board has different processing deadlines and timeframes. Examples are:

  • Requires immediate completion prior to degree conferral. In this case, the form will say, for example: the degree will be awarded/conferred on X date. These requests will be processed as received.
  • Requires degree requirement completion: forms will not be completed until the last day of the term in April.
  • Requires posting/conferral of degree: forms will not be completed until Monday after graduation.

A confirmation email will be sent when the request has been fulfilled.

The Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE) is prohibited from being released to graduates/students.

If your MSPE is needed for a fellowship application, please send an email to [email protected].

If your MSPE needs to be sent to an institution/organization for licensing, credentialing, etc., please complete and return UMMS Release Waiver form and email it to [email protected].

UMMS Registrar’s Office does not provide nor process transcript requests.

Transcript requests must be submitted to the University of Michigan Registrar’s Office.

NOTE: Official Medical School e-Transcripts may be sent to the Medical Board of California by designating the Board as the recipient on your submitted request and providing the Board’s email address - [email protected].
