FAQ
- How do I check if a contractor is licensed?
- Pick the state, then enter the contractor's state-board license number. We pull the official record — California CSLB, Florida DBPR, or Texas TDLR — and link to the source. We report the board's record, not a verdict.
- Which states are supported?
- California (CSLB), Florida (DBPR construction), and Texas (TDLR trades). Texas does not license general contractors at the state level — we tell you that and what to check locally. More states are added in demand order.
- Is a license check free?
- Yes. The single-license check is free. We source the public state record by license number.
- Is this a background check?
- No. This is informational only, sourced from public state licensing records by license number. It is not a background check, not a consumer report, and not FCRA-regulated.
Disclaimer. This tool reports a state licensing board's public record for a specific license NUMBER (California CSLB, Florida DBPR, or Texas TDLR). It is provided for general information only. It is NOT a background check, NOT a "consumer report," and is NOT governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Do not use it for employment, tenant, or credit decisions. We show candidate record matches as published by the board — we do not assert any verdict, allegation, or conclusion about any individual or business. Records can change at any time; always confirm directly at the official board website before making a hiring decision. · Full terms
