What this is
Connecticut records every license, permit and registration in one system, eLicensing — for a dozen agencies. Its public file has one row per credential, so a supermarket with a liquor permit, a bakery license, a lottery agent license and a pharmacy shows up as four unrelated rows. This site groups them: one record per business, with every credential it holds and the agency behind each one.
Who uses it
- Customers and general contractors — is this contractor registered, and until when?
- Suppliers, lenders and landlords — everything a business is licensed for.
- Business owners — your own record, with every expiration date.
What it is not
Not the State of Connecticut, and not a license. Individuals — nurses, electricians, notaries — are not on this site. Product registrations and securities filings are left out. Businesses are grouped by name and ZIP code: a business written two ways appears twice.
