About LicenseCheck USA

A free, live front end for state alcohol licence registers that mostly have no usable front end at all.

Why it exists

Alcohol licences are public records with real commercial weight — in capped markets they trade for five and six figures — and there is no unified place to look one up. Each state runs its own search form, several block software entirely, and no one has put the queryable ones in one box.

The rule

Only states we can query live. No scraped copies, no nightly imports, no “last updated 2023”. If we cannot get today’s answer from the agency’s own feed, that state is not here — and the coverage page says exactly why.

What it costs

Nothing. No account, no paywall, no email capture, no data sold. It runs on a single edge worker with no database, which is cheap enough to keep free, and it is supported by advertising.

What is next

More states, the moment any of them opens a real endpoint. Federal TTB permittees for wholesalers and importers. State cannabis registries where they are live. The source registry is a config file, so each addition is a day, not a rebuild.

Corrections

Wrong record? That belongs with the issuing agency — every page links to it. Wrong display of a correct record is ours. See removal requests if you are a sole proprietor appearing under a personal name.
