GetLicenseMap is a free reference tool that compiles professional licensing requirements from official state regulatory boards and .gov databases for all 50 US states and the District of Columbia. We currently cover 132 licensed professions — from healthcare and trades to real estate, education, and financial services. You can browse the full list on our homepage.
Our goal is simple: give anyone considering a professional license one place to find source-linked, date-stamped, and confidence-scored licensing information about what it takes to get licensed in their state.
Every profession and state goes through a multi-step verification process before publication — and re-enters that process on a recurring audit cycle.
Each new profession or state starts with the official licensing board website — the authoritative source for every requirement, fee, and process. We identify the relevant statutes, administrative rules, and application materials.
Every data point is linked to a specific source URL with an access date. Where available, we cite the underlying statute or administrative code section. This creates an auditable trail from our data back to the original government source.
Each data point receives a confidence score: "high" or "verified" (confirmed against the primary source), "medium" (minor discrepancy between sources), or "low" (sources conflict or data needs re-verification). Currently 82.5% of all data points are rated high or verified.
We cross-reference data against secondary sources — established education providers like Kaplan, Colibri Group, and Aceable Agent — who have strong incentives to maintain accuracy. When sources disagree, we flag the conflict, record both values, and note which source we believe is more current.
Our team monitors regulatory changes and legislative updates across all 51 jurisdictions. States are re-audited on a recurring cycle, prioritizing those with the oldest verification dates or known upcoming legislative changes.
Every source is recorded with two dates: the source's own publication or update date (if visible), and the date we accessed it. The “Last verified” date on each state page tells you when we last confirmed all data points for that jurisdiction. This transparency lets you assess exactly how current each piece of information is.
