What “verified” means on this page
Not every check is the same check, and most directories hide that. Every listing below says which kind it was, and the date we did it — because a license check is a photograph, not a guarantee. Somebody confirmed in August can be suspended in September.
State registerChecked against the state’s own licensing, court or bar record.
Issuing bodyChecked against the organization that grants this credential — authoritative for the credential, but it is their own list.
Membership listingA membership directory. Joining is voluntary, and this is not a license check.
Self-reportedTaken from this person’s own website. Nobody independent confirmed it, and we are re-checking these against an official register.
Source linkedChecked against the source linked, which is not a state register.
Nobody paid to be listed here, and nobody can. Listings are not for sale, and no professional on this page has paid us anything to appear on it or to appear higher on it. If we are ever paid in connection with anyone listed here, it will say so on this page, next to that listing. Most of these were confirmed against a state register. A small number were not, and rather than quietly presenting those as equivalent, they are marked and we are re-checking them.

Know someone in Missouri who needs this?
Sending one person a straight answer about money is more useful than most advice. Nothing here asks for their real name, and nobody finds out they looked.
Everybody on this page charges for their time. If money is the constraint — and for most people reading this it is — these two come first, and we earn nothing from either.
What this means. This is when the sources on this page were last read against their originals — statutes, court rules, official schedules — taken from the dates recorded against the individual citations on this page. It is not the date the page was last edited. Adding a link or fixing a typo does not move it; re-reading the statute does. Where we get something wrong we publish it at thecusp.app/corrections with the date, what changed, and how long the error was live.
