How to check a contractor's California license
The California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) requires a license for jobs over $500 in labor and materials. Check a contractor's license online at the CSLB website by entering the contractor's license number, business name, or the name of the person associated with the license. A California contractor license number contains up to 8 digits with no alphabetic characters. If searching by business name, type the first 10 to 15 letters; if the name contains a first and last name, enter the last name first. The online lookup will show the license status and complaint disclosure.
