Licensure Gateway

The South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) is implementing a new licensing database.  Filing online through the Licensure Gateway reduces the time needed by applicants to submit required documents and decreases processing time by DCA staff.  Programs are being added in phases. Please check the listing below to see what is currently available.
