New Jersey Contractor License Lookup
Checked 2026-11-13.
New Jersey's license verification site is online. Search the registration or license number printed on the bid and read the credential type and the status. We are not restating which home-improvement jobs must be registered; the result page is the record.
A municipality can still require a permit. Ask the town where the house is.
Verify this with the board or the city before you hire. Rules change, and a city or county can require its own license on top of a state record. This is general information, not legal advice.
