Steps
Go to the Kentucky Board of Auctioneers site at auctioneers.ky.gov for License Verification links
Use the state GenSearch tool at web1.ky.gov/gensearch/LicenseSearch.aspx?AGY=3 to look up license records
Decode the license-number prefix: P (Principal Auctioneer), NP (Nonresident Principal), RP (Reciprocal Principal), A (Apprentice), NA/RA (Nonresident/Reciprocal Apprentice), AHO/RHO (Auction House Operator/Reciprocal), L (Livestock), T (Tobacco)
For a licensee's own status check, note licensees can view it anytime via their eServices account
Contact the board directly at ppc.krec@ky.gov for anything not resolved by GenSearch
Known gotchas
Kentucky licenses livestock (L) and tobacco (T) auctioneers as distinct limited categories separate from general auctioneers — don't assume a general license covers those specialties
Resident vs. nonresident vs. reciprocal status is encoded in the license prefix and materially changes what the license permits
GenSearch is a generic multi-agency tool (AGY=3 selects the Auctioneers board) — using the wrong agency code returns the wrong dataset
