Florida · Real Estate Licensing
Florida real estate license lookup in the DBPR portal.
Florida real estate licences are verified through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). This page explains the four search options and links to the portal.
Short answer: use the DBPR licensee search to look up a person or company by name, licence number, city or county, or licence type. This page does not look anyone up.
What the DBPR licensee search offers
The DBPR Licensing Portal’s License Search page says it provides information about applicants and licensed individuals for the professions and businesses DBPR regulates. Its search types are:
- Search by Name
- Search by License Number
- Search by City or County
- Search by License Type
DBPR’s Division of Real Estate points people to this licensee search to check whether someone holds a real estate licence. The Division also notes that complaints are confidential, but it can say whether disciplinary action has been taken against a licensee; the correct spelling of the name is needed.

Tips for a clean search
Spell the name exactly as licensed, and use the licence-type search to narrow a common name. If the portal does not show a result, contact DBPR’s Customer Contact Center before drawing a conclusion.
Format
This page publishes no licence-number format or checksum, because none is documented on the DBPR pages used here.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check a Florida real estate license?
Use the DBPR licensee search and look up the person or company by name, licence number, city or county, or licence type.
Is the DBPR search the official source?
DBPR is the state agency, and its Division of Real Estate directs people to this licensee search. Treat the DBPR result as the answer, not this page.
Can I see discipline history?
DBPR says complaints are confidential but it can advise whether disciplinary action has been taken. Contact the Division for details.
What if the name does not appear?
Check the spelling, try the licence number, or call DBPR’s Customer Contact Center before relying on the absence of a result.
Guide only — not a verification tool
This page describes official registers and links to them. It does not check anyone’s licence status, does not copy or proxy any register, and nothing you might type here is transmitted anywhere. Registers change and licensing rules differ by state and city; use the official source linked above and contact the regulator to confirm anything that matters. This is general information, not legal advice.
