Professional Licensing
Welcome to the Bureau of Professional Licensing
The Bureau of Professional Licensing (BPL) is responsible for licensing and regulating over 700,000 individuals who are regulated by either the Michigan Occupational Code or the Public Health Code. BPL is also responsible for maintaining the Health Professional Recovery Program (HPRP) and the Michigan Automated Prescription System (MAPS).
Mission Statement
The mission of the Bureau of Professional Licensing is to protect, preserve and improve the health, safety and welfare of Michigan’s citizens through the licensing and regulation of occupational and health professionals. The Bureau is designed to make the regulatory system simple, fair and efficient.
LARA received over 16,000 survey responses from licensees across three of our highest volume bureaus: Professional Licensing, Construction Codes, and Corporations, Securities & Commercial Licensing. Our Cutting Red Tape Report outlines nearly 80 recommendations to reduce barriers to licensure, streamline processes, and better serve the people of Michigan.
