- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
