How can I validate a broker and realtor's license?

[Juan Camilo Lovera]

Hi everyone, this is my first deal in the US and I'm in the closing part of the deal (I have so many fears but at the same time emotion), how can I validate that the license of the broker and realtor are real?

Most states have licensing info online. Google "Florida real estate license lookup" (but obviously insert the name of the state you are working in). 

Though I must point out that if you are "in the closing part of the deal" and now you are worried that your broker/agent are unlicensed, you've probably left it too late! What makes you fear that they are unlicensed, and how would this impact your closing?
