Pharmacy Technician License Information
*Application processing time is approximately 4-6 weeks, but may be longer depending on the circumstances.
*All fees are non-refundable.
On February 10, 2022, the Oregon Board of Pharmacy adopted temporary rules regarding Pharmacy Technician licensure, found in Oregon Administrative Rules Chapter 855, Divisions 025, 021 and 110.
These changes remove barriers to licensure and provide an option for a Pharmacy Technician to renew the license in even years.
This means, the license you are currently applying for will expire on 6/30/2024.
Your license application will be processed and issued once an application is complete. Submission of an application does not guarantee an issue date. Each application is processed on a case-by-case basis and processing time cannot be estimated.
Pharmacy Technicians and Certified Pharmacy Technicians must be at least 18 years of age and have completed high school (or equivalent) per
OAR 855-025-0010(1).
