Specialties of record
- GENERAL
Specialties print as L&I records them. The first specialty is the primary one of record.
Registered is not licensed
Most Washington construction contractors hold a registration, not a license. Registration means the business is on file with L&I with a bond and insurance recorded. It is not a state examination or a skills credential. Electrical, plumbing, and elevator work is the licensed tier.
A suspension line in L&I's data is not a discipline finding
L&I's records include suspension entries that are licensing-workflow milestones. Discipline — infractions and citations — is published by L&I separately and is not part of these records, so no record on this site presents a suspension entry as a disciplinary action.
