How to check a provider's licence

A number on a website proves nothing

Anyone can print a licence number. What matters is whether the regulator's own record agrees with it. The check takes a few minutes.

Steps

1. Find the licence number on the provider's site, storefront or paperwork.
2. Find the regulator's register. Most jurisdictions publish one. Go to the regulator's own website rather than following a link from the provider.
3. Search by number. If search by name is all that is offered, search by name and compare numbers.
4. Match the details: legal name, trading name and address should agree.
5. Check the licence type: a retail licence is different from a cultivation or a delivery licence.
6. Check the status and date: active, suspended or expired.

If it does not match

Do not buy. Ask the provider to explain, and if the answer is not clear, tell the regulator.

Why we do not rate providers
