Important Information: per HB 5129, which took effect on 6/20/2025, state agencies are prohibited from providing certain personal identifying information regarding licensees. To comply with this law, we must temporarily remove licensees’ contact information from the public search system, and staff will be unable to provide or confirm contact information for our licensees. We are working with our licensing software vendor to implement a solution that will allow us to provide information as allowed by law as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Contacting the Request for Records Department

Email is the best way to contact the JBCC, as we are unable to accommodate walk-in Customers. Staff can schedule appointments for virtual calls/Zoom meetings for further assistance.

In your email, please include your name and contact information and a subject line that identifies the topic of the email (example “Records Request- Jane Doe”).  

Attach any documents that are needed, but please do not submit documents by way of external links to a cloud service such as OneDrive or Google Drive.
