Step-by-Step: Verify a Contractor in Alaska

1

Search by name or license number

Go to the List a Service verification tool and enter the contractor's business name, owner name, or license number. Select Alaska from the state dropdown to narrow results.

2

Review the license details

Check the license type, current status (Active, Expired, or Revoked), license number, and expiration date. An active license means the contractor is currently authorized to perform work in Alaska.

3

Confirm with the Alaska licensing board

For the most current information, cross-reference the license directly with the Alaska state licensing board. This ensures you have the latest data on any disciplinary actions or status changes.

4

Ask for insurance and references

A valid license is essential, but also request proof of liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and at least three recent references. This provides a complete picture of the contractor's qualifications.

Red Flags to Watch For

Expired license

The contractor is not currently authorized to perform work. They may be operating illegally.

Refuses to provide license number

A legitimate contractor will readily share their license information for verification.

No record found

If the contractor cannot be found in state records, they may be unlicensed.

Wrong license type

A plumbing license does not authorize electrical work. Ensure the license covers your project.
