Quick Answer
Add your professional licenses in the "Licenses & Certifications" section of your profile. Enter your license name, number, country, state (if applicable), and acquisition date. Verified licenses display a badge on your public listing and are used for lead matching.

FAQs
What if my license doesn't verify? If your license cannot be verified, it still displays on your profile—just without the verification badge. Contact support with documentation if you believe it should verify.
When should I leave the State field blank? Leave it blank for federal credentials (DEA registration, 501(c)(3) status), national certifications (ISO, HIPAA compliance), or international credentials.
How do I update a renewed license with a new number? Edit the existing entry and update the license number. This triggers re-verification with your new credential.
Do all my licenses need to verify for my listing to be approved? Critical credentials (like your primary bar license or medical license) must verify. Supplementary certifications may be approved without verification—they'll display without the badge.
