If you find incorrect information read this:

***It is not possible to keep all information current - If you find incorrect
information, -simply call the information operator in the city which is the
capital of the state you want, and ask for the Division of Licensing.***

(For example, if you are inquiring about Licensing in Ohio, then since
Columbus is the the capital of Ohio, you would call the information
operator in Columbus and ask for the Division of Licensing.)
