Mississippi Contractor License Status

Look up Mississippi contractor license status and expiration from public Mississippi State Board of Contractors records. Search by license number or business name and export source-linked results.

Search Mississippi State Board of Contractors (MSBOC) public records by license number or business name. Get source-linked JSON with the reported status, expiration date and UTC check time. Use one lookup or a batch of up to 100 queries.

Use cases

• Add a dated license-record check to subcontractor onboarding.
• Refresh a list of known license numbers for human review.
• Feed source links and expiry fields into a procurement spreadsheet or internal workflow.

This tool reports what the source says; the board remains the authority.

Input example

{
  "license_number": "22649"
}

Use name instead of license_number for a business-name substring search. Set max_results from 1 to 10 (default 1) for name searches. For batches, use {"queries": [{"license_number": "22649"}]}, up to 100 objects. Each object supplies a license number or name. A batch overrides the top-level single query. Do not treat a truncated name search as a complete roster.

{
  "outcome": "match",
  "verification_state": "verified",
  "license_number": "22649",
  "business_name": "10TENCONSTRUCTION, LLC",
  "status": "Licensed",

}

The default dataset contains one row per returned record, or a dated no-match/uncertain row. Matches include business_name, license_number, status, expiration_date, source_url and checked_at. Export the dataset as JSON or CSV in Apify.

verification_state: verified means the source was readable, not that a contractor is approved or suitable. Missing fields can produce uncertain; source access failure produces unverifiable. A no-match is limited to the search and time shown.

Pricing

The license-lookup event costs $0.02 per completed readable lookup, with platform usage included. One input query incurs one event even if a name search returns multiple records. A readable no-match is charged; an uncertain or unverifiable result is not.

The maximum charge for a run of 100 input queries is $2.00. For a smaller batch, choose a lower run cap if desired. Each new run can incur new event charges.

Limitations and legal notes

Only Mississippi is covered. Source records may be stale, incomplete or unavailable, and a name match may refer to another business. Verify directly with the official board source before an important decision. This is not a certified license report, insurance check, eligibility decision or legal advice, and is not affiliated with the board.

Requests are rate-limited; login/CAPTCHA or access restrictions must not be bypassed. Automated access permission must remain valid. Do not use this Actor to evade source terms or collect unrelated personal information. No state-wide completeness or uptime guarantee is made.

For a technical problem, use this Actor's Apify Issues tab and share the input and run ID without credentials or private customer data.
