How to verify a California contractor license

Search by contractor name, license number, or city. Open the matching profile and compare the business name and location with your estimate or contract. Review the recorded license status, expiration date and classifications, then verify the latest details with the Contractors State License Board (CSLB).

Who are the people associated with a license?

The associated personnel section shows names and roles when supplied. A qualifying person and other personnel may be listed; open the section to review them and confirm current details with CSLB.

Can I check a contractor’s bond and workers’ compensation?

California profiles include bond and workers’ compensation fields when available. Review the details and dates, and check current coverage with CSLB and the appropriate insurer before relying on them.

What this search covers

CSLB public license and personnel files. Missing records are not evidence of revocation.

How current are these records?

We refresh validated public datasets weekly. Each profile shows its source timestamp. Changes may occur between imports; this is not a real-time government lookup.

What if a contractor is missing?

Try a shorter name or the exact number, then check the official agency. An absent record does not establish that a contractor is unlicensed or that a license was revoked.
