For Providers
Draft prepared October 2026 · Version 2026-10.1
Why list your company
Families, county workers and referral partners search Licensed Care MN to compare licensed community residential settings in Minnesota. Your company may already appear, built from public Chapter 245D license records.
Claiming your listing lets you add the things a license record cannot say: who you serve, how to reach you, what visiting looks like, and photos of the home.
How approval works
Every provider follows the same path. Nothing you add becomes public, and no badge appears, until the final step.
- Find or add your company. Search for your company; if it was loaded from public records, claim it. If it is missing, add it for staff review.
- Create an account and verify your company. Sign up with email and password, then show you are authorized to speak for the company. Two-factor authentication is optional for providers.
- Verify each license. Submit the license number for each location so a reviewer can match it to the public record.
- Build your profile. Add your about text, populations served, contact details, visiting hours and photos. The Submit button unlocks once the required fields are complete.
- Review and approval. A reviewer approves, asks for changes or rejects. When approved, the Approved badge is issued and your profile goes live in search. The license is rechecked on a schedule afterward.
What the Approved badge means
The Approved badge shows that Licensed Care MN checked your company and license against the public record and reviewed your profile. It is earned by passing every check, it is renewed every year, and it can never be bought or tied to advertising. It is not a government endorsement.
Read the full checklist on the How We Verify page (/how-we-verify).
What you can add
Once your company is verified you can manage:
- Your profile: about text, populations served, services, payment types and leadership.
- Photos: a cover photo, a logo and a gallery, each reviewed before it appears.
- Inquiries: a contact form and missed-call follow-up from families, delivered to your portal.
- Analytics: how many people viewed your profile and reached out.
Plans and pricing (draft)
Plans and pricing are being finalized and are not published yet. This page will list them when they are final.
Whatever the plans turn out to be, the Approved badge is never a plan benefit: it is earned through verification only.
