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.

Lookup Information

  • Licensees/certificate holders may use this tool to find their license number and expiration date.
  • Firm registrations are not listed. For firm information, contact the Board at aelslagid@state.mn.us.
  • The database is refreshed daily and is not real-time. If someone is newly licensed or has a recent status change, wait 1–2 business days after the expected change before checking results.
  • The Board no longer mails license cards at renewal. Anyone needing confirmation of status can be directed to this Licensee Lookup page.
  • Licensees who want a printable/downloadable PDF license card can log into Online Renewal Services and select “License/Certificate Card.”
  • If the search does not display, try a browser other than Chrome.

How to Search

  • Enter a full or partial last name or a license/certificate number, then click Search.
  • Or click the first letter of the last name to display all individuals with last names starting with that letter.

License Statuses

Expired: The individual previously held a valid Minnesota license/certificate but no longer does because they did not renew.
Suspended: The individual does not hold a valid Minnesota license/certificate while suspended; suspensions are due to disciplinary action.
Revoked: The individual no longer holds a Minnesota license/certificate due to disciplinary action.
Retired: The individual has retired from practice and may use their professional title only if preceded by “Retired” (e.g., “ “Retired Professional Engineer,” “Retired Certified Interior Designer”).
