What you get

For every license the scraper returns:

• Business / individual name and license number
• Full address: street, city, state and ZIP
• License type and regulating board
• Class / rank (A, B or C), specialties and firm type
• Initial certification date and expiration date

One search covers contractors PLUS electricians, plumbers, HVAC, gas fitters and other Virginia trades. No result means no charge: you are only billed for real license records that were returned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which trades and boards are covered? The lookup spans Virginia's contractor and tradesmen licenses (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, gas) plus other DPOR boards, all from one search.

How many results can I get per search? The register returns up to 200 matches per query. Use specific business names, individual names or narrower trade terms (and multiple queries) to go deeper.

Do records include an email or phone? This is an official license register, so it publishes the licensed name and full mailing address rather than personal email or phone. Address, trade, class and expiration are always captured where present.

How fresh is the data? Every record is read live at run time, so it reflects the register at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
