Contractor license verification FAQ
Answers to common questions about California, Florida, New York City, and Texas contractor license records.
Which states and contractor license sources are available?
StateLicense currently covers California CSLB, Florida DBPR construction and electrical, New York City DCWP and DOB, and selected Texas TDLR contractor records. See the coverage page for the exact sources and fields.
Do I need to integrate the API to use StateLicense?
No. Every account includes a web dashboard where you can search and verify licenses without writing code. The API is available when you want to automate those checks in another product or workflow.
Does one account include both the dashboard and API?
Yes. Use the same account to work in the dashboard and create API keys. Dashboard checks and API requests count toward the same monthly verification allowance.
Which Texas contractor licenses are covered?
Texas coverage currently includes TDLR A/C, electrical, electrical sign, appliance installation, elevator, and water well driller or pump installer contractor licenses.
Which Florida contractor licenses are covered?
Florida coverage comes from DBPR construction and electrical datasets, including certified and registered contractor license types. Registered licenses may have a limited local jurisdiction rather than statewide authority.
What New York contractor licenses are covered?
New York coverage is currently limited to New York City. It includes DCWP Home Improvement Contractors and DOB construction-trade licenses such as general contractors, electrical contractors, plumbers, elevator agencies, riggers, welders, and site-safety roles. It is not a statewide general-contractor registry.
Can I search contractor licenses by business name?
Yes. The public lookup and authenticated dashboard let you search by state and business name. You can also automate business-name searches through the API.
How fresh is the license data?
California, Texas, and NYC DOB sources refresh daily. Florida construction and electrical and NYC DCWP Home Improvement Contractor snapshots refresh weekly. Use the source_updated_at and last_updated fields to evaluate an individual record.
Is there a free tier for testing license lookups?
Yes. The Free plan includes 100 verifications per month, shared between dashboard checks and API requests. The public lookup is also available for a quick no-account preview.
