Florida insurance agent license search.
Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) licenses Florida insurance producers. Here is where its public lookup is, what to enter, and what a result does not tell you.
Short answer: Use the Florida DFS licensee search. It has fields for name, Florida license number, NPN, license status and category, and location.
Before you search
Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) licenses insurance producers in Florida. Per the department, the public check is individual or agency name, Florida license number or NPN, license status and category, location. Have the agent's full name and, if you can get it, their FL license number ready. Ask the agent for their NPN too: it is a nationwide identifier, separate from any state license number, and many lookups accept it.
Optional: shape-check an NPN

What the FL search offers
Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) directs you to individual or agency name, Florida license number or NPN, license status and category, location. It describes the result as licenses and appointments; the page warns that results are not guaranteed to be accurate or timely.
DFS's own disclaimer on the search page reads: "information found through this service is not guaranteed to be accurate or timely".
The form also lets you filter by appointments (appointing entity, category, active or inactive) and by continuing education due dates.
What a license lookup does not cover
A lookup shows a license record. It does not prove an agent is the right fit, that a policy is genuine, or that the person in front of you is the licensee. Ask the agent for their license number, compare it to the record and check the name. Insurance licenses are issued by each state's department of insurance, and a producer can hold licenses in many states under one NPN.
