  • You are solely responsible for deciding whether to apply for a license after reviewing our laws and statutes. The Board and its staff cannot tell you prior to applying whether or not you are eligible to receive a license without taking a specific portion of our required examinations. Montana maintains a substantial equivalency law, which requires us to issue a license if standards of you hold an active license in another state that is substantially equivalent to our (MT) standards at the time of application. Only after you submit the application and pay the fee can this determination be made.

    This site is a primary source for verification of license credentials.

    The Montana Department of Labor and Industry, Business Standards Division, presents Licensee Lookup information as a service to the public. The Division relies upon information provided by licensees to be true and correct, as required by statute. It is an act of unprofessional conduct for a licensee knowingly to provide erroneous information to the Division.

    The Department of Labor and Industry makes no warranty or guarantee concerning the accuracy or reliability of the content of this website. Assessing the accuracy and reliability of information obtained from this website is solely the responsibility of the user. If you have questions regarding information found within this Licensee Lookup website, please contact the specific licensing board directly.

    Please note that some disciplinary actions against licensees may not appear immediately on the website. Appeals, effective dates of orders and other administrative processes may delay posting on the website. Please contact the specific licensing board directly if you require discipline information that occurred prior to July 1, 1996.

  • The board attempts to refrain from involving itself in licensees business endeavors; however, due to prior incidents, the board does have some specific regulations regarding payment. Those should be reviewed by all licensees prior to structuring a new payment format. 

    The board and its staff cannot offer advice, interpretation, or legal determinations. Doing so would be providing you legal advice/counsel. It is the responsibility of licensees and members of the public to review the relevant statutes and rules to determine whether a specific practice is legal and/or what licenses are required to operate. If legal advice is needed, you may consult your own attorney.
