Licensed Professional Finder — State License Lookup & Contacts

Find licensed professionals by profession, state and city straight from the official license boards and registries, one flat row per licensee: name, license number, type and status, issue/expiry dates, business name, address, phone, the board record URL — plus website, e-mails and social profiles found for each one. No login, no API key, dataset-only, MCP-ready.

Who it is for

• Vertical SaaS, fintech, insurance and lending teams selling to regulated professionals — dentists, physicians, attorneys, real-estate agents, contractors, insurance producers — who need a list that starts from who is actually licensed, not from a directory of ads.
• Recruiters and staffing agencies building candidate lists of licensed nurses, therapists, pharmacists, electricians or adjusters in a metro.
• Compliance, KYC and onboarding teams verifying a list of names against the boards (names input).
• AI agents and GTM automations that need a clean profession × state × city → licensees tool.

What it does

1. You pick a profession and one or more states, and narrow by city, ZIP, counties — or paste names to verify a list.

2. The Actor queries every board that publishes that profession in each state, in parallel:

   Source	Professions	States
   NPPES NPI Registry (CMS)	physicians, dentists, nurses, nurse practitioners, PAs, pharmacists & pharmacies, chiropractors, PTs, OTs, optometrists, podiatrists, psychologists, counselors, social workers, dietitians, SLPs, acupuncturists, veterinarians, home-health agencies, any other NPPES taxonomy via specialty	every US state
   State Bar of California	lawyers	CA
   The Florida Bar	lawyers	FL
   State Bar of Texas	lawyers	TX
   Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC)	real-estate sales agents, brokers, home inspectors, appraisers	TX
   Texas Dept. of Licensing & Regulation (TDLR)	A/C & electrical contractors, electricians, barbers, estheticians, tow operators, property-tax consultants, water-well drillers, auctioneers	TX
   Florida Dept. of Financial Services	insurance agents & agencies	FL

3. Every licensee is deduplicated (board + state + license number; NPI for the registry), filtered by status, optionally enriched with website, e-mails and social profiles (board-published contacts first; then a name-matched web search for the practice/firm website, a crawl of its contact pages, and search-result mining for attributed e-mails), and pushed as one row. A CSV copy and a run summary land in the key-value store.

Why this one

• Official sources only. Every row comes from the board or registry that issued the license, with the record URL on the row. Nothing is inferred: a field is what the board shows, or null.
• One input for many professions. Healthcare covers all 50 states out of the box; lawyers, real-estate, trades and insurance are added board by board (CA, FL, TX today — the run summary tells you when a state has no board source for a profession yet).
• Contacts you can use. Board-published e-mails (Florida insurance agents, California and Florida attorneys) plus enrichment that only accepts a website whose domain carries the licensee's name and only keeps e-mails attributed to that website or name.
• Pay per row, contacts only when found. $0.02 per licensee, $0.02 more only when an e-mail or website is on the row. Duplicates, filtered rows and empty runs are free.

Fields

Field	Description
id	Stable key: npi:<NPI> or <source>:<state>:<licenseNumber>
fullName, firstName, lastName	The licensee (organisations keep the organisation name in fullName, isOrganization: true)
profession	Your profession label (e.g. Dentist, Lawyer, Insurance agent)
specialty	NPPES taxonomy, TREC sub-type, TX Bar practice areas, FL DFS license classes, TDLR designation
licenseNumber, licenseType, licenseStatus	As published by the board; NPI rows carry the state license number when NPPES has it (else the NPI)
issuedAt, expiresAt	ISO dates where published (NPI: enumeration date; CA/TX bars: admission/license date; TREC/TDLR: expiration; FL DFS: earliest license issue)
state, city, county, zip, address	Practice/business location as published (TDLR: county only)
phone, fax	Board-published numbers
businessName	Practice, firm, organisation or DBA
website, domain, emails[], primaryEmail, socials{}	Board-published contacts + enrichment
contactStatus	board (contact published by the board), enriched (found by enrichment), none
enrichment	{ status, website, emails, socials, pagesCrawled, searchQueries } or null when off
npi	National Provider Identifier (healthcare rows)
boardUrl	The licensee's record on the board / registry
source, sourceName, query, scrapedAt	Provenance

Two dataset views: Licensees (license table) and Leads & contacts (business, address, phone, website, e-mails).

How to use

1. Choose a profession and states. Add a city (required for the bar directories and FL DFS), a zip, or counties (Texas trade licenses).
2. Keep licenseStatus: active for a sales list; switch to any for verification work.
3. Leave enrichContacts on to get websites and e-mails; turn it off for a fast license list.
4. Run. Read OUTPUT in the key-value store for counts per source and any notice (e.g. a state without a board for the profession), download LICENSEES.csv or read the dataset.

Verify a list: put names in names ("John Smith" or "Smith, John") with the profession and states; each name is looked up on every relevant board and a city narrows the match.

Cost

$0.02 per licensee, +$0.02 when the row has an e-mail or website, $0.005 Actor start. 100 Austin dentists with enrichment ≈ $2.5–3.5; 500 Florida insurance agents (board e-mails on every row) ≈ $20; a 1,000-row license list without enrichment ≈ $20. Compute is a few cents per hundred rows (pure HTTP, 1 GB).

FAQ

Which states are covered? Healthcare professions: all US states and territories (NPI registry). Lawyers: CA, FL, TX. Real estate and trade licenses: TX. Insurance: FL. Ask for a state and the run summary says whether a board source exists for it; boards are added as they prove readable without a login or captcha.

Why is city null on Texas trade rows? TDLR's public license files carry the county only (verified: no street address, city or phone in any row). Rows are filtered by county; a city you give is resolved to its county through the board's own search. Enrichment adds the website/e-mail.

Why does a Texas real-estate city query return so few rows? TREC's public index has no city field (a few hundred of 140,000 active agents carry one). A city therefore matches only those; for a full list drop city (state-wide, newest first — 250 per request) or pass names. Street address and ZIP come from each licensee's detail record.

Why is a physician's row missing an expiry date? NPPES has no expiry; the NPI is permanent. issuedAt is the NPI enumeration date, licenseNumber the state license number NPPES has on file for the primary taxonomy.

How many rows can a query return? NPPES caps one query at 1,200 rows; the Actor splits by ZIP code when a city exceeds that. The CA Bar shows 500 per query; the Actor splits by last-name initial. Bars and FL DFS page through every result.

Are e-mails guessed? No. E-mails are board-published or found on the licensee's website / attributed search results with the domain or name check; nothing is pattern-guessed.

Can I run it from an AI agent / MCP? Yes — flat rows, stable ids, a query label and boardUrl per row, and OUTPUT with counts and notices. Use maxResults to bound cost.
