What the Iowa record shows
Records typically show the license number, business name, address, license type or classification, status and expiration date. Bond and insurance details vary; if not shown, ask the contractor for certificates.
How to verify a Iowa contractor
- Search by license number (most precise) or exact business name.
- Confirm the status is active and the expiration date is after your project ends.
- 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 Iowa Division of Labor – Contractor Registration portal.
