How it works
1. Search
Type a contractor name, license number, or the address of your project, and pick the state.
2. We check the official board
We query the state's own public license database in real time and show you the record.
3. You see the verdict
Active, expired, suspended, or not found, with the issuing board and a link to the official record.
Why a license matters
A licensed contractor has met your state's requirements and can usually be held accountable through that board. Hiring an unlicensed contractor can void permits, insurance, and your ability to recover if work goes wrong.
Frequently asked questions
Is this really free?
Yes. There is no signup and no fee. We read public government records and link you to the official source.
Where does the data come from?
Directly from state licensing boards and government open-data portals. Every result links to the official record so you can confirm it yourself.
Which states are supported?
This is a national tool. A growing number of states return a live license result instantly, and for every other state we link you straight to that state's own official lookup. We add live states over time, and never show data we can't pull from an official source.
Does this guarantee a contractor is trustworthy?
No. A license is one important signal, not a guarantee. Always check references, get a written agreement, and use protected payments.
