Public Information - Licensee Lists

The Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) provides information to the public regarding over 150 professional license types issued through the DCA Boards/Bureaus/Committees/Programs (hereafter referred to as "Agencies") in accordance with the Information Practices Act, Civil Code § 1798.61, and Business and Professions Code § 161.

The DCA Public Information Unit produces DCA license files for a fee. Information and Rates provides detailed information about the available license file types and describes the various content, format and shipping options.

Standard Files, Custom Files and the Masterfile include, at minimum, the following information related to current renewable licenses: license type, original issue date, expiration date, licensee name, licensee address, and Agency code.

To determine which Agencies are included in the Masterfile, you may refer to either the Agency List or the Masterfile Request Form.
