About — LicensedCheck

LicensedCheck.com is a free professional license verification tool that helps consumers verify the credentials of contractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and other licensed professionals across all 50 states.

Our Mission

Every year, thousands of homeowners are defrauded by unlicensed contractors who misrepresent their qualifications. Verifying a professional's license should be quick and easy, but the reality is that every state has a different licensing board with a different website, different search tools, and different data formats. LicensedCheck solves this by aggregating public license data from official state licensing boards into one fast, free, searchable database.

How It Works

We collect publicly available professional license information from official state and local government licensing authorities. This data is published by government agencies specifically for the purpose of consumer protection and public access. We normalize this data into a consistent format and make it searchable, so you can verify any licensed professional in seconds — regardless of which state they're licensed in.

Our Data

All information on LicensedCheck is sourced from publicly available government records. We update our database regularly to ensure accuracy, but license status can change at any time. We always recommend confirming license status directly with the relevant state licensing authority before making hiring decisions. Every profile page on our site includes a direct link to the official state licensing board for your convenience.

Data Freshness

We strive to refresh each state's licensing records on approximately a quarterly basis. However, update frequency may vary depending on data availability from each state's licensing authority — some states publish bulk data more frequently than others, and some require public records requests that can take time to process.

Each state page on our site displays the date its records were last updated along with the original data source. For the most current license status on any individual professional, we always recommend verifying directly with the relevant state licensing board before making a hiring decision.
