  1. Find your state contractor licensing board
    20 min

    Every state licenses contractors through a different agency. Using the wrong website means you follow outdated forms and fee schedules. This step produces the one official source for your state: the board’s website and phone number saved where you can reach them.

    You now have the correct board URL bookmarked and its phone number saved. Use this page for every subsequent step — it is your single source of truth.
