FAQ

Where does the data come from?

The Oklahoma Construction Industries Board's public licence search (the CIB License Verification site). Lookups search it live; exports read a stored copy of every trade.

Is there a phone, address or email?

No. The board licenses individuals and publishes only the holder's name and city, on the search and on each licence's verification page. No public CIB source carries a street address, phone or email for these licences (checked 2026-10-30).

What about roofing or general contractors?

Oklahoma has no state general-contractor licence. Roofing contractors register separately with the CIB; for them (with phone and address) use the Oklahoma roofing contractor actor in this suite.

Which trades are covered?

The nine options of the board's search: electrical, mechanical, plumbing, electrical-apprentice, mechanical-apprentice, plumbing-apprentice, building-inspector, home-inspector and plumbing-inspector. Put one or more in Trade; leave it empty for all.

How do I get only active contractors?

Set license_class to Contractor and status to Active. license_class takes Contractor, Journeyman, Apprentice or Inspector; status takes the board's own words (Active, Expired, Inactive, …).

How do I look up a person?

Put a last name, "Last, First" or "First Last" in queries. The board matches the last name exactly and the first name as a prefix, and needs at least three letters of the last name. The board's own search shows one licence per person unless a trade is chosen, so each name is searched in all nine trades: about 40 seconds per name. If the live search cannot answer, the stored copy is searched instead and the run says so in a free notice.

Can I verify a licence number?

Yes. Put the number in queries as the board prints it, leading zeros included, and set mode to lookup. The board gives a person one number for all their licences (one holder had five under 00158663), and old numbers repeat across people, so a number usually returns several licences; check the name and licence type. In mode auto or verify, a number with several licences returns one free notice instead of guessing; add license_class (e.g. Contractor) to narrow it.

How current is it?

Lookups are live. Exports read a copy taken on October 30, 2026; the run log states its date, and a copy older than 45 days returns one free notice saying so.

How am I charged?

One event per licence returned. Notices are free.
