At 3rd Degree Screening, our Professional License Verification services provide you with accurate and up-to-date information about a candidate's licensure status — including license type, issue date, expiration date, and any disciplinary actions — so you can hire qualified professionals with confidence.

Multi-layer license screening
We conduct thorough checks to verify the authenticity of a candidate's professional license — including license type, issue date, expiration date, current status, and any disciplinary actions on record with the issuing authority.
We contact the relevant licensing boards and regulatory authorities directly to confirm the candidate's license details — eliminating any inaccuracies or misrepresentations that aggregated data sources may contain.
Our verification process specifically checks for any disciplinary actions, sanctions, or restrictions imposed by the licensing authority — because a valid license is not the same as a clean licensing record.
Our services cover professional licenses issued across multiple jurisdictions. Candidates who hold licenses in more than one state are fully covered — no jurisdiction is left unverified.
Our experienced team conducts license verifications across all regulated industries — including healthcare, legal, financial services, real estate, and more — ensuring comprehensive and accurate results regardless of profession.
We hire licensed professionals at scale. 3rd Degree catches expired licenses and disciplinary actions that candidates hope we won't find. It has become non-negotiable for every hire we make.

Healthcare HR Director
Multi-state license verification used to be a significant administrative burden. 3rd Degree handles it cleanly across every jurisdiction and reports back fast — it's completely removed that pain from our process.

Compliance Officer
The disciplinary action check is the piece most vendors skip entirely. 3rd Degree includes it by default on every verification — that is what sets them apart from everyone else we evaluated.

How It Works
We go directly to the source — contacting the issuing licensing authority in every relevant jurisdiction to confirm status, validity, expiration, and disciplinary history for every candidate we screen.
We obtain the candidate's consent to conduct a professional license check, adhering to all privacy and data protection regulations before any outreach begins.
Our team reaches out directly to the appropriate licensing boards or regulatory bodies in each relevant jurisdiction to verify the candidate's licensure status.
We confirm license type, issue and expiration dates, current active status, and any disciplinary actions, sanctions, or restrictions associated with the license.
You receive a detailed professional license verification report with all findings clearly documented — ready for your hiring decision and audit file.
Comprehensive coverage
Compliance protection
In regulated industries, hiring an unlicensed or disciplined professional can expose your organization to serious legal, financial, and reputational risk. Our verification confirms every credential is valid, current, and free of disciplinary actions before an offer is extended.
Disciplinary history
A professional license can be active and still carry a history of disciplinary actions, sanctions, or practice restrictions. We check for these specifically — because your organization deserves to know both that the license is valid and that the record behind it is clean.
Multi-jurisdiction
Many professionals hold licenses in multiple states. Our team verifies every jurisdiction the candidate has listed — ensuring no lapsed, suspended, or disciplined license in any state goes undetected before they join your organization.
