GovtLicense Terms of Use
The rules for using the GovtLicense US guide.
Last updated Nov 7, 2026.
Draft for legal review. This page is being reviewed before the US guide launches and may change.
Using this site
These terms apply to every page under govtlicense.com/us/. By using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Guidance only, not legal advice
Our guides are general information to help you find the right government offices and forms. They are not legal, tax or financial advice, and reading them does not create an attorney-client or any other professional relationship. For advice about your own situation, talk to a licensed attorney or accountant.
Not a government website
GovtLicense is not a government website and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or paid by any government agency. Licenses and permits are issued only by the agencies we link to. We never charge for government services.
Fees and rules can change
We check every fee and rule on an official page and show the date we checked it, but agencies change fees and rules, sometimes without notice. We cannot guarantee that everything is complete or current. Always confirm the fee and the requirements with the agency before you apply or pay.
Links to other websites
We link to government websites and, in the future, may link to companies through clearly labeled affiliate links. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.
Acceptable use
Please do not misuse the site, for example by trying to break its security, overloading it, or sending spam through our contact form.
No warranty and limits on liability
The site is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, GovtLicense is not liable for any loss that comes from relying on the site, including fines, fees or delays. Some states do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. Questions: contact us or email [email protected].
