Missouri Electrical Contractors (DPR)

Say you sell electrical supplies out of Kansas City and want to mail every licensed electrical contractor in your half of Missouri before the spring building season, or you need to check that the electricians on a bid list hold a current state licence. Missouri has no statewide general contractor licence, but it does license electrical contractors, through the Division of Professional Registration, and it publishes every active one with a mailing address.

The manual way, and what it costs

For this one list, the free way is genuinely fine. Pick Electrical Contractors in the board menu, press Submit, download the ZIP, and open the text file inside in a spreadsheet as tab-delimited. On November 3, 2026 it held 1,230 licences. What you get is the raw file: column names like prc_first_name and ba_cnty, no filter, and licensees from every state mixed together. Only 655 of the 1,230 had a Missouri mailing address; the rest were out-of-state contractors licensed to work in Missouri. Sorting that out once is ten minutes in a spreadsheet. Doing it every month, or for engineers and architects as well, is where it stops being worth your time.

The faster way

Missouri Professional License Lookup & Leads Scraper (DPR) does the same search once and hands back every row at once.

{
  "categories": [
    "Electrical Contractor"
  ],
  "maxResults": 2000
}

categories picks the one licence type, and a maxResults of 2,000 is comfortably above the 1,230 licences it holds, so the run returns all of them. To keep only your sales territory, add a counties list (Jackson, Clay, Platte, Cass). Most out-of-state rows carry no county, so the filter drops nearly all of them, but not every one: 69 out-of-state addresses list their own county, and Johnson County, Kansas would pass a Johnson filter. Check region reads Missouri before you mail.

Field	Example value	Meaning
name	Justin A Garnett	Licence holder: a person’s full name, or the firm’s name for a corporation, establishment or business licence
listing_id	2019028878	Licence number exactly as the Division prints it
category	Electrical Contractor	Licence type in the Division’s words, e.g. Electrical Contractor, Professional Engineer, Pharmacist
street	5950 Old State Rd	Mailing street address (both address lines); empty for the Cosmetology & Barber board
city	Imperial	Mailing city
region	Missouri	Mailing state, spelled out (Missouri, Kansas, …)

The licence belongs to a person, so for a mailing it is extras.employer that closes the loop: it names the company the licence holder works for, and 827 of the 1,230 rows carry one. Mail the company at the street address on the row, addressed to the licensed contractor by name. For the bid list, match on listing_id and read extras.expires.

What you’d do with it

Import the rows into your CRM or mail-merge sheet, de-duplicate on extras.employer so a firm with three licensed contractors gets one piece of mail, and print. Rerun the same input next month and compare licence numbers to see who is new.

Worth knowing

The files carry active licences only, with a mailing address but no phone or email. An expired or lapsed licence is simply absent, so a contractor missing from the list may still be licensed under a different name spelling, or may have lapsed; check the Division’s own licensee search for that one name. The address is the one the contractor gave the board, which is sometimes a home or a PO box.
