- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Go to the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
