# Real Estate License Database API (RELD)

> RELD is a REST API for normalized U.S. real estate licensee data — broker verification, agent license lookup, brokerage affiliation checks, batch roster verification, and compliance workflows. Coverage snapshot as of 2026-07-13: 51 live jurisdictions (49 states plus 2 territories/federal district), 4,754,328 total licensee records, 2,473,066 active records. The remaining 1 U.S. state is on the roadmap.

RELD collects license records from official state and territory regulator sources, normalizes them into one JSON schema (name, license number, license type, status, jurisdiction, expiration date, brokerage, city, last_verified timestamp), and serves them through authenticated REST endpoints. 13 jurisdictions refresh nightly, 30 weekly, and 8 follow monthly source files.

RELD is API-first for teams (compliance, proptech, brokerages, MLS vendors); it is not a free consumer lookup portal and does not sell raw bulk exports. For one-off personal checks, each state page links to the official regulator lookup.
