Why it matters
The license number is what a contractor should give you and what goes on the permit. Knowing the two formats helps you match it to the city list: a CLCL number ends in a month and year; the other format is all digits.
The date is a property of the number, not of the company. A recent date is not evidence that a company is new, and an older one is not evidence of experience.
What this number can’t tell you
- The city list does not label the date in the number, so it is not reported as an issue date or a first-licensed date.
- All-digit numbers carry no date and are not assumed to be older or newer than dated ones.
- A company may have changed its registered name or license number; the number’s date does not show how long the company has worked in Kansas City.
What to do with it
- Ask for the license number and match it, including any month and year, on the city list.
- To judge experience, ask how long the company has held a Kansas City, Missouri license and for recent comparable jobs.
