TSPC has moved! Our new address is 250 Division Street NE, Salem OR 97301. Telephone numbers and Web address remained the same.

We apologize in advance for any delays this may create for the few weeks following the move.

Effective December 1st. our office will be open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. In addition, our phones are open during all office hours. We can be reached by phone at (503) 378-3586 or through email at contact.tspc@state.or.us

TSPC is experiencing technical difficulties with our Web site. Occasionally, the Web will indicate inaccurate information concerning individual licenses. We continue to mail paper copies of licenses, so if you have an official license (newly issued), and there is a discrepancy between that license and the information on the Web, please know that you can rely on the paper license instead of the Web information for the time being.

If you have questions or issues, please directly contact Vickie Chamberlain, the Executive Director. Her contact information is in the State Agency Legislative Contacts directory
