North Dakota Contractor License Lookup
Checked 2026-11-13.
The North Dakota Secretary of State publishes a contractors page and links a FirstStop search for registered contractors. We verified the Secretary of State page. The FirstStop search address returned an error when we checked on November 13, 2026, so start on the Secretary of State page and use the search from there.
We are not restating a dollar threshold. The Secretary of State page is the source for when a contractor license is required.
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.
Common questions
- Where do I look up a North Dakota contractor?
- Start at the Secretary of State contractors page. Its FirstStop search did not load when we checked.
- What if the North Dakota search is down?
- Use the contact path on the Secretary of State contractors page and ask them to confirm the license. Do not rely on a copy of an old printout.
