LicensedCheck is a privately operated website that aggregates and republishes publicly available professional license information sourced from official government licensing board databases across the United States. LicensedCheck is not a government agency and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any federal, state, or local government entity or licensing authority. The Site provides this information as a convenience to help consumers verify professional credentials.

All professional license information displayed on this Site is sourced from publicly available government records that are published by state and local licensing authorities pursuant to applicable public records laws and freedom of information statutes. This information is made public by government agencies specifically for the purpose of consumer protection and public access.

Our collection, aggregation, and republication of this publicly available information is protected activity under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and applicable state constitutions. Courts have consistently upheld the right to collect and republish public government records, including in hiQ Labs, Inc. v.

While we endeavor to keep the information on our Site current and accurate, professional license information is subject to change at any time by the issuing government authority.
