Contractor License Tracking Software — Know the Moment a License Lapses

One-time verification tells you a license was valid when you hired the sub. TrackMyVendor tracks it every day after that. If a license expires or gets suspended mid-project, you know before your inspector does. Search and monitor 1 million+ records across TX TDLR, FL DBPR, CA CSLB, WA L&I, and OR CCB — no manual re-checks, no spreadsheet maintenance.

No credit card · Free for your first 25 subs · First lookup in under 60 seconds

Verification is a moment. Tracking is ongoing.

In TX, FL, CA, WA, and OR, putting an unlicensed sub on a job site can void your contract, expose you to owner claims, and put your own license at risk. The problem isn't that GCs skip verification at hire — it's that no one re-checks after that.

You verified the license when you hired the sub. Three months later it was suspended. You found out when the inspector showed up.
State licensing websites are slow, inconsistent, and require navigating five different portals for five different states.
A sub handed you a license card. You have no way to know if it's the one currently on file with the state — or if it was revoked last month.
Verification is one-time. No one re-checks mid-project. Licenses expire during jobs all the time, and spreadsheets never know.

How contractor license tracking software works

Add your subs once. TrackMyVendor handles verification, daily monitoring, and expiration alerts from there.

1

Search by name or license number

TrackMyVendor searches 1 million+ records across TX TDLR, FL DBPR, CA CSLB, WA L&I, and OR CCB. Find the sub by name, business name, or license number — results return in seconds.

2

Confirm status, type, and expiration date

Each result shows the license number, license type and classification, current status (active, expired, or revoked), expiration date, and the name the license is held under — from the official state record.

3

Add the license to your sub roster

One click attaches the verified license to the sub's profile. You can track multiple licenses per sub — plumbing, electrical, GC, and specialty trades all under one record.

4

Automated monitoring runs daily

No manual re-checking

TrackMyVendor checks the state database every day. If a license is suspended, revoked, or approaching expiration, the sub's compliance status updates automatically — and you get notified.

5

Expiration alerts fire at 90/60/30/7 days

Starter+ · Auto alerts

You get an email before the license expires. Enough time to get the sub to renew — before they're locked off the job site.

State databases covered

Five official sources, synced daily. No third-party aggregators.

Texas — TX TDLR Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation

Covers HVAC, electricians, plumbers, irrigators, and dozens of other trades. A TDLR lookup confirms active status, license type and classification, expiration date, and the name the license is held under. If you hire subs for Texas jobs, checking TDLR before the first day on-site is the only way to know a license wasn't revoked last week — not six months ago when you first vetted them.

Florida — FL DBPR Department of Business and Professional Regulation

Covers general contractors, specialty contractors, and building trade licensees. TrackMyVendor queries DBPR for current license status, expiration date, and license classification — without navigating the state's licensing portal manually.

California — CA CSLB Contractors State License Board

Issues licenses across more than 40 contractor classifications — from general building (Class B) to specialty trades. A CSLB check returns the license number, classification, current status, expiration date, and qualifying individual on record. California's $500 threshold means nearly all paid construction work requires a CSLB license — verification is not a formality here.

Washington — WA L&I Department of Labor and Industries

General contractors register with L&I; specialty trades (electricians, plumbers, elevator mechanics) hold separate L&I licenses. TrackMyVendor searches both. Washington L&I registrations auto-suspend if a contractor's bond or workers' comp lapses — a mid-project compliance risk that TrackMyVendor's daily sync catches before it becomes your problem.

Oregon — OR CCB Construction Contractors Board

Oregon general contractors register with the CCB. TrackMyVendor searches by contractor name or CCB registration number. CCB registrations renew annually — making mid-project lapses more common in Oregon than in states with biennial renewals. The daily sync catches them before your project is exposed.

How TrackMyVendor compares to other contractor license tracking options

What GCs are saying

"We used to find out a sub's insurance lapsed when our insurance broker asked during a renewal audit. Now I get a 30-day warning and my sub gets the same email automatically. We've got 6 active projects running right now — I'm not chasing anybody for paperwork."

Frequently asked questions

What is contractor license tracking software — and how is it different from a one-time lookup?
A one-time lookup tells you a license was valid at the moment you checked. Contractor license tracking software monitors it continuously after that — catching suspensions, revocations, and expirations as they happen, not when you next think to check. TrackMyVendor includes both: a free one-off lookup and automated daily tracking. Add your subs once and TrackMyVendor checks their status daily and sends expiration alerts automatically. Free accounts cover up to 25 subcontractors.
How does TrackMyVendor compare to other automated license verification providers?
TrackMyVendor is the only automated license verification platform that also tracks COIs, collects W-9s, and handles document renewal in the same workflow. Enterprise providers like myCOI and Avetta are built for large companies and require sales calls, contracts, and implementation. TrackMyVendor is self-serve, starts free, and is built for GCs and property managers managing 5–150 subs — no demo required.
Which states are covered?
Automated verification covers Texas (TDLR), Florida (DBPR), California (CSLB), Washington (L&I), and Oregon (CCB). For all other states, you can manually enter license details and still get expiration tracking and compliance scoring — labeled "Self-reported" for clarity.
How often is the license data updated?
Daily. TrackMyVendor syncs from official state sources every day — TX TDLR, FL DBPR, CA CSLB, WA L&I, and OR CCB. The status you see reflects what's on file right now, not when you onboarded the sub.
What happens when a license expires or gets suspended after I verify it?
If a license expires, alerts fire at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days in advance. If a license is suspended mid-project, the daily sync catches it and updates the sub's compliance status automatically — you don't have to re-check manually.
How do I look up a contractor's license number?
Search by the contractor's name, business name, or license number. Results pull directly from official state databases and return the license number, type, current status (active, expired, or revoked), and expiration date. You can then add the license to your sub roster and monitor it automatically going forward.
