Missouri Professional License Lookup & Leads Scraper (DPR)

Pain points

• The Division publishes its active licensees as 170 separate ZIP files, one per licence type, spread across 33 board pages (checked 2026-11-03); building one list means downloading and joining them by hand.
• Each file is a tab-delimited text file with database column names (prc_first_name, ba_cnty, lic_exp_date) and no filter: the Electrical Contractors file includes licensees in Utah and Kansas next to those in Missouri.
• The online licence search returns at most 50,000 rows for one query without saying so (measured 2026-11-03), so a large licence type cannot be listed through it.

What we solve

• Reads the Division's own nightly files live in every run: 407,054 active licences across 170 licence types on November 3, 2026, filterable by licence type, county and city.
• One clean table: holder name, licence number exactly as printed, licence type, board, mailing street, city, state, ZIP, county, issue and expiry date, and for electrical contractors the employer.
• Looks up names or licence numbers across the licence types you pick (a number repeats across types when one person holds several licences; each comes back as its own row).

Summary

Missouri Division of Professional Registration licences in one dataset: every active licence the Division publishes in its downloadable licensee files, 170 licence types from 33 boards (Real Estate, Healing Arts, Pharmacy, Architects & Engineers, Dental, Electrical Contractors and more). Each row has the holder's name, licence number, licence type and board, mailing street address, city, state, ZIP and county, issue and expiry dates, and where the board publishes it, the employer and discipline status. Street addresses fill about 74% of rows; the Cosmetology & Barber board publishes none, and no board publishes a phone or email. On November 3, 2026 the files held 407,054 active licences; Electrical Contractors held 1,230. Every run reads the Division's current files. Pay only per licence returned.

FAQ

Where does the data come from?

The licensee download files of the Missouri Division of Professional Registration (mopro.mo.gov, License Downloads), one file per licence type, which the Division regenerates nightly. Every run downloads the files for the licence types you pick.

Is there a phone or email?

No. The Division publishes a mailing address, not a phone or email, for every board it lists. Street addresses fill about 74% of rows; the Cosmetology & Barber board publishes no address at all (checked 2026-11-03).

Which licence types are covered?

The 170 licence types with a non-empty download file, from 33 boards: Accountancy, Architects/Engineers/Land Surveyors, Athletics, Behavior Analyst, Chiropractic, Cosmetology & Barber, Dental, Dietitians, Electrical Contractors, Embalmers & Funeral Directors, Healing Arts, Pharmacy, Real Estate, Real Estate Appraisers, Social Workers, Tattooing, Veterinary and more. Put one or more licence types in Licence type; leave it empty for all. Nursing is licensed by a separate board and is not in these files.

Does it include contractors?

Missouri has no statewide general contractor licence. The Division licenses Electrical Contractors (1,230 active on 2026-11-03); pick that licence type for the contractor list.

Are expired or inactive licences included?

No. The Division's files list active licences only. A lookup that finds nothing returns a free no-match notice; check the Division's own search for an expired or inactive licence.

How do I look up a person or a licence number?

Put names or licence numbers in queries and set mode to lookup. A name matches if it is contained in the holder's name; a number matches exactly. Pick the licence types to search in Licence type: one type answers in seconds, all 170 take a few minutes because every file is read.

How current is it?

Every run reads the Division's current files, which it regenerates nightly.

How am I charged?

One event per licence returned. Notices are free.

Works with AI assistants (MCP)

Callable as an MCP tool, so Claude, Cursor, VS Code Copilot and other MCP clients can run it directly. Grab the config from the MCP tab on this page — Apify hosts the server and keeps that snippet current, and OAuth signs you in on first connect, so no API token goes in your config file.

Then just ask:

"List Missouri electrical contractors licensed by the Division of Professional Registration, with their mailing addresses."

That is Licence type Electrical Contractor (1,230 active licences). Keep maxResults small on a first call. Runs started this way bill exactly like any other run.

Data & lawful use

This actor collects publicly available information that the Missouri Division of Professional Registration (DPR) publishes for public lookup — licence records, business listings and the contact details professionals list there. Some of it identifies individuals (sole proprietors, licence holders, agents), so treat any names, phone numbers and emails in your results as personal data.

When you run this actor, you decide what is collected and what it is used for, so you are the controller of that data and we act only as your processor (Apify Standard Actor Contract). You need a lawful basis for your use, must honour opt-out and deletion requests, and must follow the marketing rules that apply to you (CAN-SPAM, TCPA, GDPR, CCPA and similar). Don't use the output for unsolicited bulk messaging, for screening covered by the FCRA, or for anything the source's own terms forbid.

Your results are stored in your own Apify account. We don't keep a copy of your results and don't sell or share them.
