FINRA Broker Check, formerly NASD Broker Check

Created in 2007 through the consolidation of NASD and NYSE Member Regulation, FINRA, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, is the largest non-governmental regulator for all securities firms doing business with the U.S. public.

FINRA's Broker Check verifies the professional background, registration/license statuses and conduct of FINRA registered firms and their registered brokers and investment advisors. FINRA makes information on securities professionals and firms available online and, in most cases, detailed report information is returned to you by email within minutes of your request.
