Florida DBPR licenses are issued to individuals, not companies — try the name of the person who owns or qualifies the business. Or double-check the license number (3 letters + digits, e.g. CGC1505417, RA13067315). Index covers ~108k state-certified and county-registered Florida contractors, refreshed daily from the official feeds.

What you'll see

License status, type, and expiration.

An Active license means the contractor is currently authorized in Florida in that license type. Expired means the license has lapsed — do not hire without verifying renewal.

Important

Active license ≠ active insurance.

Always request a current Certificate of Insurance before work begins. The license check confirms credentialing only — not coverage. Read our 5-minute guide.
