Sources

417 official sources across 65 jurisdictions. Every procedural fact on this site traces to one of them.

262 come from the office that issues the license. 155 are state-level sources, used only for rules that state statute makes uniform and labelled as such wherever they appear. The methodology explains when that is allowed.

Recorded conflicts

65 jurisdictions have an official source that contradicts another official source — usually a stale notice or a superseded fee. We publish the current value and record the conflict rather than quietly picking one.
