Built so a license claim never has to be taken on trust alone.
Certified Counselor License Check is an independent verification service. We hold no opinion on any individual holder; we simply confirm, against the official record, whether a credential is what it claims to be.
Why verification matters
Fabricated and altered counseling credentials put clients at risk and undermine every genuine certified counselor's years of training. Employers, clinics, health ministries, and licensing boards need a fast, dependable way to tell the two apart.
Our register is maintained directly by accredited administrators, who enter and update every record by hand as licenses are issued, renewed, suspended, or revoked.
Who this serves
Clinics and agencies confirming a new hire's credentials. Ministries auditing their counseling workforce. Licensing bodies handling reciprocity requests from another country. And holders themselves, checking that their own record is accurate.
Every search returns the same plain answer: valid, expired, suspended, or revoked, with no further detail shared than the administrator has chosen to publish.
Working with examination boards and state licensure boards
We work with the boards that offer counselor certification exams, such as the NCE (National Counselor Examination) and the NCMHCE (National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Examination), so we know who is eligible and who has been approved as a certified counselor.
We also work closely with the different state licensure boards responsible for counselor licensing. As soon as a board assigns a license to someone, we're informed, and our database is updated at once, so the people relying on this register are never left checking outdated information.
Checking status is free
Anyone can check a counselor's license status on this site, at no cost, any time.
If you'd like more detail on how and where to acquire a license through us, that information is available for a one-time fee of $5. Contact us to arrange payment and receive it.
