How to search
- Open the official CCB Contractor License Search.
- Use the CCB license number when available.
- If searching by name, try the full business name and then a shorter distinctive part.
- Choose all records or active records only, depending on the purpose of the check.
- Open the matching record and compare it with the contractor's bid, advertising, or contract.
What to check in the record
The CCB says its lookup can show active license status, surety bond, proof of liability insurance at initial licensing and renewal, workers' compensation information, and complaints or disciplinary actions filed in the past 10 years.
- Confirm that the business name and CCB number match the contractor.
- Check that the license is active for the work date.
- Review the endorsement and whether it fits the proposed project.
- Review the bond and insurance information in the official record.
- Check complaint or disciplinary history when it is relevant to the hiring decision.
If the search does not find a match
The official search warns that spelling or punctuation differences can prevent a name match. Try a shorter business-name fragment or the CCB number before assuming that the contractor is unlicensed. CCB Customer Service is the official escalation point when the record remains unclear.
Lookup does not replace licensing
Oregon generally requires a CCB license for anyone who works for compensation in construction activity involving improvements to real property. The official page lists most construction and repair services and handyman work among covered examples.
