Find all applicable licenses & permits in any location using ZIP code
In many cases you may not know the county of a given location, yet many licenses & permits are administered at the county level. By entering a 5-digit ZIP code, we can deduce the correct state, county, and city.

Default county and city boundaries are provided
A 5-digit ZIP code may cross multiple counties or cities. Furthermore, your location may be inside or outside legal city boundaries affecting license jurisdiction. We solve this problem by using defaults - based on population - that pinpoint the most probable county and city and inside/outside city boundaries.

Geo-Coding
A mechanism to pinpoint any location in the U.S. as to which licensing authorities have jurisdiction. Using a 5-digit ZIP code, even with our defaults, as defined above, is not fool proof, since defaults offer only probability. Our Geo-coding works with your 9-digit ZIP code and pinpoints your exact location, without any ambiguities. This results in knowing exactly which authorities administer licenses & permits in your location.

Fill out the forms online using our auto-fill & calculation features

Forms and associated documents are exact images of the originals

Forms are in the familiar and popular PDF format

Data entry validation is performed whenever forms are filled out

Auto-fill (registered users & subscribers only)
Registered users and subscribers can create profiles storing their common information. The profile data is then automatically entered into the form using the auto-fill feature, eliminating the need for re-keying repetitive data. Furthermore, subscribers can have multiple profiles.

Auto-calc
Our Auto-calc feature automatically calculates all applicable figures on a form

Templates (registered users & subscribers only)
By creating form templates you avoid the need for re-keying forms. Whenever you need to fill out the same form, such as a state form that has to be re-filed for every location in that state, you simply re-use the existing template.

Drafts (registered users & subscribers only)
You can save a draft and return later to complete the form. Unregistered users can only complete a form in a different session if they get disconnected somehow from the Web.
