Method

We don't rate. We verify.

No stars we made up, no pay-to-rank. Just the state's own record — and a link so you can confirm it yourself.

01

Straight from the board

We pull each state licensing board's roster and keep only credentials showing current & active. Nothing bought, nothing inflated.

02

Proven, not claimed

Every record shows the license number, issuing board, and the exact date we last confirmed it against the source.

03

You confirm it too

One click opens the government verification page for that license — so the final check is always yours to make.
