Searching by Name

You can perform a search either by the name of an Individual or an Organization/Establishment. You cannot perform a search using both the name of an Individual and an Organization/Establishment.

The following are a couple of tips for searching by name:

• If you do not know the spelling of the last name, try entering the first 4 or more letters of the last name. The search will always return names that begin with the letters you have entered. If you enter 3 or fewer letters of the last name, then the search will look for exact matches.
• If you do not know the spelling of the first name, try entering the first letter of the first name to limit the number of names returned by the search.
• If you do not know the name of the Organization/Establishment/Business, try entering several of the words that you know are contained in the name. If you use a word that is 3 letters or less, then the search will only look for that word exactly.
• If you enter both a Last Name and the name of an Organization/Establishment/Business, then the search only uses the Last Name. You cannot search using both name types.
• If you receive too many licenses for your search, try using some of the Alternate Search Parameters such as License Category, License Type, and City. This will reduce the number of licenses returned by the search.

Searching by License Number 

When searching by License Number, you can search by either the number part of the license number, or you can enter the entire license number, including the letters. If you know the specific License Category and License Type, you can select these from the drop down to limit the search results. Selecting the License Category and License Type is not required.

Searching by License Type or City/County 

You can search for licenses by License Type within a City or County. You must always select a License Category, License Type, and a City/County. This search will always return licenses for the selected type within the city or county.
