California contractor license requirements

Before hiring contractors in California, you need to verify they maintain proper credentials. California contractors are often required to have:

A valid CSLB (Contractors State License Board) license for projects over $500
Active insurance coverage (Certificate of Insurance) and contractor bond
Workers' compensation insurance (if they have employees)
Tax documentation (such as W-9 forms)

Requirements vary by trade and classification. California vendor license tracking helps you stay on top of expiration dates and compliance status across all your contractors.

California contractor license lookup FAQ

How does California contractor license verification work?

TrackMyVendor syncs with the CSLB (Contractors State License Board) database daily. When you add a vendor, you can search for their license and we'll automatically verify it against official state records, track expiration dates, and alert you to any status changes.

What California license classifications do you cover?

We cover all CSLB license classifications, including Class A (General Engineering), Class B (General Building), and all C specialty classifications such as C10 (Electrical), C20 (HVAC), C36 (Plumbing), C39 (Roofing), and more. Our database includes hundreds of thousands of California contractor licenses and is updated daily.

What happens when a California contractor license expires or gets suspended?

You'll receive email reminders at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days before a license expires. If a license is suspended by the CSLB for any reason (workers' comp, bond, or other issues), the status updates automatically, making it easy to identify which contractors have compliance issues.

Can I track multiple licenses per California vendor?

Yes — you can track multiple licenses per vendor. This is common for California contractors who hold licenses with multiple classifications or separate licenses for different business entities.
