Board of Licensure for Architects, Landscape Architects and Interior Designers - Applications & Forms

Notice Regarding License Verification Requests (PDF)

Effective March 1, 2019, the Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation (OPOR) will no longer issue paper license verifications. License verifications are available, free of charge, on OPOR’s official database,  https://www.pfr.maine.gov/ALMSOnline/ALMSQuery/Welcome.aspx?board=4140, by doing a search on your own name. This database is updated in real time as changes occur. The Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation considers this information to be a secure, primary source for license verification.
