What are the differences between a Standard file, a Custom file and the Masterfile?
A Standard file contains information on current renewable licenses listed under a single Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) Board/Bureau/Committee/Program (hereafter referred to as “Agency”). The Custom file provides this same information on a single Agency; however, it can be customized to include only certain license types, target specific geographic locations or include additional related data. The Masterfile contains information on current renewable licenses listed under the majority of the Agencies throughout California and contains over 2 million records for over 150 types of professional licenses.
