Check your own license status or expiration date

What Information Do You Need for a License Lookup?

Most state license lookup tools allow you to search by one or more of the following:

  • License Number — The most precise search method
  • First and Last Name — May return multiple results
  • Business or Salon Name — For establishment licenses
  • City or County — To narrow results geographically

If a license does not appear in the search results, it may be expired, suspended, or the cosmetologist may hold a license under a different name. Contact the state board directly to resolve discrepancies.
