How to Search Delaware Professional Licenses (Start Here)
Professional and occupational licenses in Delaware are issued by state licensing boards — each profession has its own board with its own search tool. There is no single database of all licenses in Delaware.
What this page covers: Delaware professional license verification databases — medical, legal, real estate, contractor, financial, and other regulated professions. What it does not cover: Business entity filings (those are with the Secretary of State) or association memberships (those are private organizations).
Where to start: Identify the profession, then go to the specific licensing board for Delaware. For attorneys, go to the state bar. For doctors, the medical board. For contractors, the contractor licensing authority. The databases below are organized by profession.
Common mistake: A professional license and a business registration are different. A license authorizes a person to practice a profession. A business registration authorizes a company to operate. They are filed with different agencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there one place to search all Delaware professional licenses? ▼
Usually no. Each profession has its own licensing board with its own database. Some states have begun consolidating license lookups into a single portal, but most still require searching by profession.
Can I check disciplinary actions on a license? ▼
Yes, in most cases. State licensing boards publish public disciplinary actions — suspensions, revocations, restrictions, and fines. Check the specific board's website.
Is a professional license the same as a business license? ▼
No. A professional license is issued to a person by a state licensing board. A business license is issued to a company by a city, county, or state agency. They are separate systems.
