- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
