Can a chiropractor copy their current license for use in a satellite office?

A chiropractor cannot simply copy their current license for use in a satellite office because California law requires each practice location to have an original, board-issued license displayed. This regulation ensures that each office operates under compliance with state laws, fostering credible and transparent therapeutic practices within the chiropractic profession. Having separate licenses for different locations enables the enforcement of accountability, allowing authorities to effectively monitor compliance with the standards and regulations established by the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners.

The requirement for a distinct license for each office helps protect consumers and maintains the integrity of the chiropractic profession, ensuring that practitioners are duly licensed in every locale they practice. Consequently, copying a license undermines these regulatory principles and would be contrary to the law.
