Mr. Ion,

Your request for pictures of licensees was forwarded to me.  I have verified that pictures are public record and would be available for a fee.  That fee depends on what all you want.

In your email that you had sent Randy Day 4 years ago, Randy had let you know that the photographs that we have are usually passport size and quality.  We also received them when they applied for licensure.  Depending on when they were licensed, many years may have passed.  Also, the image that you would receive would be from a copy machine thus the quality would be further degraded.

Your original request from a couple of years ago had a list of 13 licensees that you were interested in.  Could you please confirm which doctors you want a picture of?

Once we have that list, we will need to request those files from archives in Salem.  That could take up to 6 weeks to receive them.  When the files are delivered to our office, we will gather the photographs, redacting any confidential portions of the record.  At this point, you can either personally inspect them or we can prepare them for copying.  This portion of the process will cost $20.00 each.  If you want us to make copies of the photos, there will be an additional charge of $5.20 each.  I have attached our request form for licensee file information along with the fee schedule.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
