- Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
