How to verify a contractor license in Oregon

The licensing agency's own record is the authority. This page says where to find it, what to check, and what Tradesfile's copy of the file holds.

The official source

Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB): active contractors with insurance and bond. Tradesfile holds 56,688 business records, read on Nov 15, 2026. Each record carries an expiry date. Insurance is on file for 50,317 of them. A bond date is published for 51,006.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA): construction haulers with insurance filings. Tradesfile holds 11,783 business records, read on Nov 15, 2026. The file gives a license status but no expiry date. Insurance is on file for 11,783 of them. This is a federal file of motor carriers. It is not a state contractor license.

What to check

  1. Ask the contractor for the license number and the exact name the license is under. A number is the surest match.
  2. Look the license up with Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) or Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
  3. Check that the name on the record is the business you are hiring, that the license has not passed its expiry date or been suspended, and that the license type covers the work.
  4. This state publishes insurance and bond dates for some licenses. Where the record shows one, check that date too.
