STATE LICENSING AGENCY ANNOUNCES FIRST FREE iPHONE APP

TALLAHASSEE, FL – The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) today announced it has developed the first free smartphone apps for a Florida state agency. The iPhone and Android apps for DBPR will allow consumers to search for state licenses by name or license number, enabling people to check instantaneously whether an individual has a business or professional license in the State of Florida.

 

“The new iPhone and Android apps will enable people to check on Florida licenses instantly, from anywhere,” said DBPR Secretary Charlie Liem. “These apps will help us answer questions faster and be more responsive to our customers who are on the go.”

 

In addition to licensing information, both apps will also feature the department’s weekly newsletter, which includes a message from Secretary Liem and important announcements from the department and its divisions. A second version with additional consumer tools is already in development.

 

The iPhone app is available in the Apple iTunes marketplace, online at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dbpr-mobile/id421389533?mt=8

 

The Android app is available in the Android marketplace, online at: https://market.android.com/details?id=us.fl.state.dbpr&feature=search_result
