What changed

The Virginia Board of Pharmacy has transitioned the process for changing a pharmacist-in-charge (PIC) to an entirely online system, aiming to increase efficiency. This revised process incorporates electronic payment via credit card and mandates the upload of a specific one-page document to complete the request. A new Pharmacy Permit Application Form, revised in January 2026, should now be used for all other permit change requests.

Licensed pharmacies must now complete PIC change requests exclusively through the online portal. Board staff will review submissions on the next business day, with approval reflected in the license lookup if no further information is needed. Failure to provide complete documentation or meet requirements may result in delays or denial. The Board encourages immediate adoption of the revised application form for all other permit modification requests.
