Professional License Verification

Frequently asked questions

• How do you obtain license information?

  We obtain license information by connecting to a Certified Contact in the relevant licensing board or regulatory agency. Our verification specialists directly contact individuals in these organizations that are delegated to provide confirmation to ensure the information is current and authoritative. Outreach attempts are documented within our system for transparency.

• Why do license verification costs vary?

  Many state boards and regulatory agencies charge fees to access license data. Pricing varies depending on the jurisdiction and profession, which can affect total verification cost. For the costs associated with specific licenses, please reach out.

• How quickly are license verifications completed?

  92% of Professional License Verifications are completed in under 48 hours. Even better, 81% are finished in 24 hours or less. Turnaround times depend on the responsiveness of the licensing authority and whether the data is available online.

• What happens if a license is expired?

  If a license is expired, it will be noted as a discrepancy in the final report. Some licenses or certifications offer a grace period for professionals to shore up their qualifications. If this is the case, an explanation is noted in the event comments under the discrepancy.
