LegitScript certification readiness checklist
Tick what your business already has in place to see a readiness score and the items still missing before you apply for LegitScript healthcare certification.
0% ready
13 items to sort out before you apply:
- Every prescribing provider is licensed in each state where patients are treated.
- Any pharmacy you use or own is licensed in every state it ships to.
- Your prescribing follows the telemedicine and prescription laws for each state you serve.
- You have your business licenses and registrations ready to upload.
- You can disclose any legal or regulatory history from the past 10 years, including resolved matters.
- You can list everyone who owns or controls the business.
- A valid prescription is issued only after a provider reviews each patient.
- Your affiliates, partners and pharmacies follow the same rules you do.
- You have a privacy policy and protect patient data.
- You have written clinical policies (for example, how a provider decides to prescribe).
- Your website shows who you are, how to contact you and what patients pay.
- Your ads and website follow the law and each platform's health ad policies.
- You have listed every domain you operate, including ones you will not certify.
Based on the summary of standards on LegitScript's healthcare certification page, checked 30 October 2026. Check status of a certified site on LegitScript's lookup.
A full score does not mean you will be certified. Only LegitScript decides. General information, not legal advice.
How it works
Meta, Google, TikTok and other platforms require LegitScript certification to advertise prescription drugs. LegitScript summarises its standards in four groups: registration and compliance, internal practices, external practices, and transparency and advertising (LegitScript healthcare certification).
- Work through the checklist and tick what you have.
- The score is the share of items ticked.
- Missing items are listed so you can sort them out before you pay the application fee.
Worked example
A brand with every item ticked scores 100 and sees "You look ready to start an application". A full score is not a promise of certification.
Telehealth notes
- LegitScript asks about legal or regulatory history from the past 10 years, including resolved matters. Gather it early.
- Every domain you operate must be disclosed, even ones you do not certify.
- Certification lets you apply to advertise. Each platform still has its own ad policy.

Questions
Does a full score mean I will be certified?
No. Only LegitScript decides. The checklist helps you prepare.
Do I need LegitScript to run telehealth ads?
To promote prescription drugs on Meta and Google, yes. General telehealth service ads that do not promote prescription drugs have different rules.
Are my answers stored?
No. The checklist runs in your browser.
