How to check a contractor license in Mississippi (2026)
Mississippi contractor licensing records are published by the Mississippi State Board of Contractors. Mississippi does not expose a clean public data feed we can search in-tool yet, so Trust Check takes you straight to the official lookup and walks you through it step by step — never estimated or third-party data.
Public-record snapshot only. Not a background check, consumer report, employment screening report, credit report, insurance report, tenant screening report, or safety certification. May not be used for any FCRA purpose. TrustConstruct does not endorse, guarantee, certify, insure, bond, supervise, or warrant any contractor or their work.
How to check Mississippi yourself (takes a minute)
- Open the official Mississippi State Board of Contractors lookup (button below).
- Search by the contractor’s business name or license number.
- Confirm the license shows as active, the name/address match the contractor you’re hiring, and note the license number and expiration date.
- If you can’t find them, that doesn’t always mean unlicensed — try a different spelling, or the license number. Some states license only certain trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) at the state level.
