Michigan medical license lookup and API
Michigan's Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) publishes physician and physician assistant license information through an online lookup and through free license-list reports.
How to look up a Michigan medical license (official sources)
- Per-license lookup: LARA's license search, updated daily: val.apps.lara.state.mi.us/License/Search.
- License lists and reports: LARA links to free real-time reports (Excel or PDF) by profession, including Medicine, Osteopathic Medicine and Physician's Assistant: michigan.gov/lara/bureau-list/bpl/license-lists-and-reports.
- API: no public Michigan license-verification API was found as of October 2026.
- Accuracy note: LARA's lookup tells users to confirm the accuracy of the information.
What this means if you verify licenses in many states
Michigan offers a daily-updated lookup and on-demand reports. A multi-state program needs a separate approach for each.
