licenscheck

Pricing

Search free. Verify across states from $29 a month.

Other APIs check one license in one state. A licenscheck verification checks every license we can link to the contractor, across states, with the evidence.

Refreshed from the state boards daily. See a sample report of what a paid plan shows for every license, or watch the 60-second demo.

What's a verification? One license's cross-state verdict, with its linked licenses: reading it, or starting a watch on it. Each license counts once a day, however often you check it. Board records are always free to open.

For the businesses you hire or work with. Don't use licenscheck to decide whether a person gets credit, insurance, a job or housing: our results aren't consumer reports (see the Terms).

Monitoring

Watch the contractors you work with and hear about it when a status or verdict changes, a board drops a license from its list, or a new linked license appears in another state, by polling or a signed webhook. A watch covers the contractor's license and every license linked to it, in any state. Starter watches up to 10 contractors at once and API up to 50; stop a watch any time to free its place. Need more? Talk to us. Read how it works.

Starting a watch uses one verification, exactly as if you'd looked up that contractor's verdict: it comes out of your plan's included verifications, or costs the per-verification price once they're used up. After that, every alert for that contractor is included, for as long as you watch it. Watching a contractor you already watch, or verifying it again the same day, doesn't use another.
