WA contractor license status

check_contractor_license_status
Read-onlyIdempotent

Look up any Washington State contractor's license, bond, and insurance status using public L&I data (updated daily). Works for Kolmo or any competitor. Great for verifying a contractor before hiring — checks if they are licensed, bonded, and insured in WA. Search by license number, business name, UBI, or phone number. Results are ranked closest match first; when identified is false, several businesses match and none should be reported as the contractor.
