Frequently Asked Questions
FinraDex is a free investment advisor lookup database that aggregates public records from the SEC IAPD (Investment Adviser Public Disclosure) and FINRA BrokerCheck into one searchable platform. You can verify if your financial advisor is properly registered, check their certifications, review their employment history, and see any disclosure or disciplinary records.
A CRD (Central Registration Depository) number is a unique identifier assigned to financial professionals and firms by FINRA. Every registered investment advisor, broker, and financial firm has a CRD number that you can use to look up their background, qualifications, and regulatory history.
No. FinraDex is an independent educational resource. All data comes from publicly available government sources including the SEC IAPD bulk data files and the FINRA BrokerCheck public API. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the SEC, FINRA, or any government agency.
We refresh our database monthly from the SEC IAPD bulk data files (published on the first week of each month) and enrich top advisors weekly using the FINRA BrokerCheck API. The last data refresh date is shown at the bottom of the homepage.
