California contractor license records

These records come from the CSLB, the board that licenses California contractors. They are the licenses in the board's current records — licenses whose term has not expired as of November 3, 2026. A license that lapses or is removed leaves the board's current records; the licenses that remain are the ones shown here, including licenses the board records as suspended, shown with their recorded status.

Source: California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) — records as of November 3, 2026. Records change; the board’s own CSLB License Check is the current source.

What the credential is

California runs one statewide licensing system for contractors, administered by the CSLB. The credential on this page is a license. The classifications listed on the record — the A and B general classes and the C specialty classes — are the trades the license covers; a contractor may only contract work inside its classifications.

Suspended is a recorded status, not a removal

CSLB's current records keep suspended licenses listed with their suspension status recorded — bond suspensions, workers' comp suspensions, judgment suspensions, and others, in the board's own abbreviated words. Read the status line on the record: a suspended license is not a current license.

The board's abbreviations are printed as recorded

Status words (CLEAR, Contr Bond Susp) and classification codes (B, C-10) appear exactly as CSLB records them. Where CSLB publishes a plain-language name for a classification, it is printed beside the code. Codes are never expanded from guesswork.

What if there is no record?

A name or number missing from these pages is missing from the CSLB's current records, dated November 3, 2026. That is all absence means here. A business may hold a license under a different number, a different form of its name, or a license that has since left the board's current records.

To check the board’s live records, use CSLB License Check. If the board’s records should contain a record that is missing here, tell us — corrections are answered within two business days.
