Arkansas status is unknown. A match or future expiration does not establish active authority; valid=false does not mean the board reported an invalid license.

Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board (CLB)

Live coverage

Statewide numbered CLB contractor licenses; registrations and numberless entries excluded

Refresh cadence

Manual snapshot imports; inspect source_updated_at and last_updated

Roster scope and license numbers

StateLicense retains the board's C, R, L, and U credential families, work descriptions, and project limits. Search by the first six digits of the exported number; padded six-digit and full ten-digit variants are accepted. Shared numbers can return several distinct board records.

Review every returned credential type and holder.
Treat work scope and bid limits as source statements.
Confirm current status through the official CLB lookup.

Manual freshness and unreported status

The board publishes a nightly roster, but StateLicense imports supplied snapshots manually. There is no automatic Arkansas refresh schedule. The source export date is exposed as source_updated_at; last_updated identifies the import time.

Every Arkansas result has status=unknown. The API's valid flag is true only for active matches, so valid=false on an Arkansas match does not mean the board reported an invalid license.
