What the status means

Current, inactiveThe license is kept up, but the holder can't practice until they reactivate it.
Delinquent or involuntary inactiveThe holder missed a renewal and can't practice until it's fixed.
Suspended or revokedThe board took the license away for now or for good.

Questions

How do I check if a Florida license is valid?

Type the person's or business's name, or the license number, in the search box. Each result shows the license type, its status, when it was first issued and when it expires. Florida's status uses two parts; the status guide explains them.

Which licenses can I look up here?

Licenses from three state agencies: the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (real estate, cosmetology, barbers, contractors, appraisers, community association managers, architects, veterinarians, inspectors and more), the Department of Financial Services (insurance agents, adjusters and agencies) and the Department of Health (nurses, doctors, pharmacists, dentists, therapists, EMTs, massage therapists and every other health profession).

Is this the official state license search?

No. This is an independent site that republishes the public licensee files the state posts for download, in one search. Every license page links to the state agency's own lookup so you can confirm it.

How current is the information?

We reload every file once a week. The state updates its own systems daily, so a very recent change may show up there first. The date at the bottom of each page shows our last update.

Why don't you show addresses or phone numbers?

Many licensees list their home as their address of record. We show the city and county only, which is enough to tell people with the same name apart.

Is it free?

Yes. No account, no fee and no limit on searches.
