Qualifications
Exactly what each qualification is.
Examinations, registrations, and designations are three different things and are routinely blurred together. Each entry below names which it is.
Uniform Investment Adviser Law Examination (Series 65)
State securities law examination
Administered by FINRA on behalf of NASAA
One of the qualification routes for investment adviser representative registration. It is an examination that was passed, not a licence, a degree, or a professional designation.
Verified — listed on the IAPD record under passed industry exams, dated November 15, 2023.
Investment adviser representative registration
State registration

Verified — both registrations show status “Approved” on the IAPD record.
Professional designations

Method
The rules this site follows.
These are the working rules behind every page, written down so they can be held against us.
A primary source, or nothing
Regulatory facts come from the regulator, tax rules from the tax authority, and firm facts from the firm’s own filed documents. Search snippets and directory listings are not treated as proof.
A source about a programme is not a source about a person
A description of what an examination covers does not establish that any individual passed it. The two are recorded separately.
Unconfirmed means absent, not softened
Facts awaiting confirmation are left off the site entirely rather than published with a hedge. Nothing here is qualified into existence.
Dates are real
Every review date on this site records a day a person read the source end to end. No date is generated by a build.
Corrections
Found something wrong?
Send it. A specific correction with a source is more useful than a general objection, and anything factual that turns out to be wrong will be changed and re-dated here.
