> What this site is, what it is not, and the conditions the source attaches to its data.

## Terms

An independent site. Not the DMV, and not a background-check service.

### What this site is

An independent search layer over one public file. Not affiliated with,
endorsed by, or connected to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles or the State of New York. It is not
the official register and nothing here is a certified record. For the position
today, use the
Department’s own facility lookup .

**Our copy is dated 2026-08-21, and the
Department publishes this file annually.** The Department publishes this file annually and notes that « facilities expired less than 6 years are included in the data set ». A licence shown here as current was current when the file was published, not necessarily today.

Nothing here is a statement about the quality of any business. A DMV
licence is a legal minimum to operate, and this site rates nobody.

### ⚠️ Not a consumer reporting agency

This site is **not** a consumer reporting agency as defined by
the **Fair Credit Reporting Act** (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.), and
nothing published or sold here is a consumer report.

You may not use this site, its pages, its search, its API or any dataset
obtained from it, in whole or in part, as a factor in deciding a person's
eligibility for:

- **employment**, promotion, reassignment or retention;
- **credit** or insurance underwriting;
- **housing** or tenancy;
- any other purpose covered by the FCRA.

Verifying that a licence exists, directly with the issuing authority, is a
different act from screening a person — and where a decision about someone
depends on it, the check belongs with a screening company that operates as a
consumer reporting agency and carries the obligations that come with it.

### Names, and why they appear here

This site republishes a public register that names people in their
professional capacity. It does not use anyone's name or identity to endorse,
advertise or sell anything, which is what New York Civil Rights Law §§ 50-51 prohibits in New York.

The distinction is not a technicality and we hold ourselves to it: no name
on this site appears in an advertisement, and no name is used to suggest that
someone recommends, supplies or is associated with anything sold here. If you
think a page crosses that line, tell us and it comes down.

### Having your entry removed

If you are named on this site and would rather not be, [write to us](/contact.md) and we will remove you. You do not have to explain why, and we
will not ask.

Two things this cannot do, and we say so plainly rather than let you find
out later: it does not change the official register, which is where the record
actually lives; and it does not remove you from anyone else's copy of the same
public data.

### The sources, and what they require

This site republishes public registers. Source by source: the licence it is published under, and the condition its publisher sets — read from the publisher's own terms page, on the date shown.

| Source | Licence | What the publisher requires |
|---|---|---|
| Facilities Licensed by the Department of Motor Vehicles — New York State DMV | OPEN-NY Terms of Use | Remarkably little, and the State says so itself: the OPEN-NY terms are « among the least restrictive of any terms of service » and « do not contain restrictions requiring members of the public to use attribution, to re-post the license terms with any re-uses of the data, to impose share-alike or technical restrictions, nor require the public to obtain pre-approval before re-use ». What it does require is lawful use: « So long as you are not doing anything malicious with NYS data, you may use it as you wish, subject to no other requirements. » The Department adds one factual limit to this file: « Facilities expired less than 6 years are included in the data set », and it is published annually. — Terms read on 2026-08-21, terms |

### Errors

If a page here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it. If the underlying
record is wrong we cannot fix that — it has to be corrected with
the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, and our copy follows at the next publication.
