How Vermont General Contractor license verification works

A General Contractor in Vermont is licensed by the VT Contractor Licensing Board. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.

Fields returned for this board: license_number license_type profession status issued effective expires speciality multistate address cases flags.

Board note: Residential Contractor - Individual registration is OPR (PC054). Electricians, plumbers and HVAC are the Dept of Public Safety Fire Safety Division, not OPR: not attempted.
