How to Search
There is one box. Type whatever you have and it reads what you typed — you never have to know which of Arizona's registries keeps the answer.
Seven ways to type into it
A business nameEvery active Arizona contractor license whose business or trading name carries those words, and separately any real estate license under the same name. The two are never mixed: they are different licenses from different agencies.Try it: Desert Sun
A contractor license numberThe number goes straight to a check rather than through a name search. If that number is also on the well drillers' list, you are offered that reading too — both agencies issue numbers of the same shape.Try it: 197304
The kind of workWhether Arizona licenses that work through the Registrar, through some other agency, or not at all — and where to check the license it does need. Type the word you use: pest, alarm, exterminator and locksmith all reach an answer.Try it: termite
A postal codeFive digits is also a license number, so the box reads it as one and offers the postal code as a link beside it. Take that link and you get licenses whose record lists an office there — where a business keeps an office, never the area it works in. An Arizona contractor license is valid across the whole state.Try it: 85251
A street addressBuilding permits published for that address. A permit does not name who pulled it, so this can say a permit exists for work at an address and can never say your contractor pulled it. Only Mesa is read today.Try it: 1137 E 2ND PL
A permit numberThat one permit, with the work described in the city's own words. Every Arizona city numbers its own permits, so a number not found here is not Mesa's rather than nonexistent.Try it: BLD2013-00796
A real estate license numberThe Department of Real Estate's own record for that entity license. Two letters and nine digits is a shape the Registrar never issues, so this reading is certain rather than offered.Try it: LC698342000
When it cannot tell
Every answer says which reading it took. Where a query could be two things — a five-digit number that is both a license and a postal code, or a number two agencies both issue — the other reading is offered as a link rather than chosen for you.
Nothing you type here is kept. No account, no email address, and no sign-in. The result is the same for everyone.
