- Match the license classification to the job.
- Ask for proof of insurance and any required bond; compare the business name on the contract to the record.
- Confirm on the official Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) – Construction Industry and Electrical Contractors' Licensing Boards portal.
