The National Association of State Boards of Accountancy has refreshed its CPAverify.org and ALD.nasba.org websites, providing users with a more modern design and improved functionality.

Free and open to the public, CPAverify.org is NASBA’s CPA lookup tool populated with official state regulatory data sourced directly from boards of accountancy to a central database. According to NASBA, the website represents the first-ever single-source national database of licensed CPAs and CPA firms. 

The redesigned site now features a cleaner layout, faster navigation, and enhanced usability—making it easier for individuals and employers to confirm CPA licensure and firm status, NASBA says.

The Accountancy Licensee Database supports state boards of accountancy by serving as a central repository for current licensee and firm information. NASBA says its goal is to house accurate and up-to-date licensing and disciplinary records for individual CPAs and CPA firms from each of the 55 U.S. jurisdictions.

With the new ALD platform, state board representatives can log in using their existing Okta credentials; no re-registration is required.

Updates include:

  • Enhanced license search functionality for faster, more precise results.
  • Access to a variety of reports.
  • A streamlined interface for viewing of information shared by other boards.
  • Ability to upload disciplinary records for both in-state and out-of-state licensees practicing under mobility.

“These updates reflect NASBA’s ongoing commitment to providing meaningful tools and resources that strengthen regulatory effectiveness and advance the common interests of the boards of accountancy,” NASBA said in a media release.

Questions concerning the ALD or CPAverify can be sent to ald@nasba.org.
