Where this comes from
Every status shown here is pulled directly from CSLB's own public Data Portal — the same records CSLB itself maintains, not a third party or an estimate. We've cross-checked it against CSLB's live Instant License Check for accuracy. Always informational — never a substitute for CSLB's own record.
Common questions
How do I check my own CSLB license status?
Search your license number or business name in the box above. License, bond, workers' comp, and RMO/RME status are all shown for free — no signup required.
What happens if my contractor's bond lapses?
CSLB can suspend a license for a lapsed bond. A suspended license generally can't legally contract until it's resolved, which is why catching a lapse early — before it turns into a suspension — matters.
What happens if my workers' comp coverage lapses?
Same as a bond lapse — CSLB can suspend the license for missing workers' comp coverage. Check your current coverage status by searching your license above.
Is licensewatch.org affiliated with CSLB?
No. We're an independent tool that pulls directly from CSLB's public Data Portal and cross-checks it against CSLB's own live Instant License Check for accuracy. Always confirm with CSLB directly before relying on this for a decision.
