eLIPSE Platform Launches for Five Additional Professional Licensing Boards
Summary
The Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure has expanded its eLIPSE online licensing platform to five additional professional boards: the Board of Registration of Architects, Board of Registration in Embalming and Funeral Directing, Board of Registration of Landscape Architects, Board of Public Accountancy, and Board of Registration of Real Estate Appraisers. Applicants and licensees of these boards must register with Mass.gov business credentials to access the platform for licensing and permitting services. The platform previously served Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons and Plumbers and Gas Fitters, with additional boards planned for future phases.
What changed
The Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure announced that the eLIPSE online licensing and permitting platform is now live for five additional boards, expanding the digital licensing infrastructure previously available to real estate and plumbing professionals.
Affected applicants and licensees — including architects, landscape architects, public accountants, real estate appraisers, and funeral directors — must register with Mass.gov business credentials to access the platform. Professionals already on eLIPSE should continue using it; others should monitor for future phase announcements.
