License Lookup
"Find a Licensee" helps you confirm whether a person currently holds a Minnesota license or certificate. It also shows revoked, retired, or expired statuses—each of which means the person cannot currently practice in Minnesota. To check if a licensee has had disciplinary action taken against them, please review the Current Orders and Archived Orders pages.
