Licensee Database

To find information about companies currently licensed by the Division of Consumer Services, search the licensee database.

Search Tip: When searching the database for a mortgage broker or lender, if you don't find the company you want by searching mortgage brokers, try searching by "consumer loan company".


Licensee List - Current As Of January 19, 2010

DFI also maintains an excel spreadsheet of companies licensed by the Division of Consumer Services called the licensee list.

The licensee list is provided as an alternative to the licensee database and is not as current as the licensee database. The licensee list is updated monthly.

Because this list includes individual broker names, you must agree to the terms of its use per RCW 42.56.070(9).

Terms of Use:


Registered Tax Refund Anticipation Loan Facilitators


Bonding Company Information

If you are looking for the address and telephone number of a bonding company, search the Office of the Insurance Commissioner's Authorized Insurance Companies Database.
