🔍 What does multi-state contractor license verifier do?

Use this Actor to check a supplied license number or company name against supported public state registries. It returns a source-backed verification outcome, match basis, published contractor facts, and practical caveats.

⚡ Keep the evidence with the decision. Company-name matches are candidates, and every result keeps its public-source link and registry context.

👥 Who is it for?

• Vendor-risk teams: “I need a consistent evidence trail before onboarding a contractor.”
• General contractors: “I need to check a subcontractor list before work begins.”
• Procurement teams: “I need to verify supplier claims without reviewing one registry at a time.”
• Compliance teams: “I need a repeatable watchlist for records that may change.”

🧭 How it works

STEP 1 Add checks Provide a state and a license number or company name.

STEP 2 Review evidence Use the match basis, published facts, warnings, and source link.

STEP 3 Monitor changes Schedule a stable batch to receive changed verified records.

✅ Matching policy

A license-number match is stronger than a company-name candidate. Company-name searches return candidates, not identity claims. A capped or incomplete search does not make an absence claim. Review the returned warnings and source link before making a compliance decision.

❓ FAQ

Which states can I verify at launch?

Connecticut, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Washington are supported. Each registry has its own published scope, shown above.

Does a company-name result prove the contractor’s identity?

No. Company-name searches return candidates. License-number matches carry stronger evidence. Use the official-source link and warnings for review.

Does no result mean a contractor is unlicensed?

No. A missing result can reflect registry scope, supplied information, or an incomplete search. The Actor avoids making that claim.

Can I monitor contractor records?

Yes. Turn on monitoring and use the same monitor name for a stable batch. Field changes include changed fields. The first complete-source absence is a review signal, and a second confirms the monitoring signal.
