Look up a Vermont license
Search the official regulator portal by license number or business name for live status and expiration. This is the authoritative source โ we don't store these records.
How to verify a Vermont cannabis license
- Open the Vermont Cannabis Control Board portal linked above.
- Search by the license number (preferred) or the exact legal business name.
- Confirm the license status reads active โ not expired, suspended, or revoked.
- Check the expiration date and the license class matches the activity you're transacting (e.g. retail vs. cultivation).
- For B2B orders, keep a dated screenshot of the regulator record for your files.
What you'll find on the Vermont Cannabis Control Board portal
- The issuing authority. The Vermont Cannabis Control Board is the government agency that licenses cannabis businesses in Vermont โ its site is the official home of the license roster.
- Program covered: Adult-use + Medical. The portal reflects the license types Vermont actually issues under that program โ exact class names and any tiers are defined by the agency, not by us.
- The authoritative record. The regulator publishes the current record for each license it issues. Most agency portals are searchable by business name or license number; the exact tools vary by agency, so start from the official link: https://ccb.vermont.gov/.
Cannabis license classes
Common categories used across state programs. Vermont's exact license types and tiers are defined by the Vermont Cannabis Control Board โ confirm on its portal.
| Class | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Retailer / Dispensary | Sells cannabis products to patients or adult-use consumers at a licensed storefront or via delivery. |
| Cultivator / Grower | Grows cannabis plants. Often tiered by canopy size (e.g. micro, standard, tier 1โ3). |
| Manufacturer / Processor | Makes extracts, edibles, vapes, and other infused or processed products. |
| Distributor / Transporter | Moves product between licensees. A distinct class in some states (e.g. California); rolled into other licenses elsewhere. |
| Testing Laboratory | Independently tests product for potency and contaminants before retail sale. |
Before you ship to a Vermont operator
A supplier-side checklist for vetting a cannabis counterparty. These steps are generic good practice โ they apply in any state, and every one of them runs through the official portal above.
- Verify the license yourself on the official Vermont portal โ not from a screenshot the buyer sends you, and not from a third-party directory.
- Match the exact legal business name on the license to the name on the purchase order. Watch for DBA-vs-legal-entity mismatches โ they're the most common miss.
- Check the license class and status. The class should cover the activity you're transacting (retail vs. cultivation vs. manufacturing), the status should read active, and note the expiration date.
- Sanity-check the ship-to. Where the regulator's record lists a premises address, confirm it lines up with the ship-to on your order โ a delivery address that matches nothing on the license record deserves a question.
- Get it in writing. Save a dated screenshot or PDF of the regulator record with the order file, so you can show the license was valid when you shipped.
