Help and questions

How California License Directory works, where its information comes from, and who to contact.

About the directory

What is California License Directory?

Renewal deadlines and continuing education rules for every California health profession we cover, guides for California employers, and a free License & NPI Lookup. Practice rosters with license status and renewal reminders come next.

When does the California roster open?

California publishes its license records every month, and we're building the roster from them now.

Is this a government website?

No. California License Directory is an independent service. It isn't affiliated with, or endorsed by, the California Department of Consumer Affairs or the federal government.

Licenses and lookups

Where does the information come from?

Renewal rules come from each licensing board and are checked by hand. The lookup uses the federal NPI Registry (NPPES). When the roster opens, license status and expiration dates will come from the licensee lists California's licensing boards publish each month.

How do I confirm a California license today?

Use the California Department of Consumer Affairs license search, the official source. Our renewal guides explain each profession's deadlines.

Exclusion screening

What is exclusion screening?

Checking staff against the federal OIG and SAM.gov exclusion lists of people barred from federal health programs. Our sister service StaffScreen screens your whole team every month and emails you a dated certificate. StaffScreen customers can email support@staffscreenhq.com with questions about their account.

Privacy and partners

How do I correct or remove information about me?

Email privacy@californialicensedirectory.com. We reply within 30 days. See Privacy & security for what we collect.

How does the partner program work?

Billing companies, credentialing firms and consultants earn 20% of what each practice they refer pays in its first 12 months. See the partner program.

Screen your California staff every month

StaffScreen, our sister service, checks your whole team against the federal OIG and SAM.gov exclusion lists every month and emails you a dated certificate for your compliance file. California customers hear first when the California License Directory roster opens.
