Steps
Open CSLB's Insurance Company Search tool at cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/InsuranceSearch/WCRequest.aspx
Search by the carrier name printed on the certificate of insurance, or by company code if one is listed
Confirm the carrier appears in CSLB's records
Cross-reference against the license/classification lookup to confirm the subcontractor's own license shows active workers' comp coverage
Known gotchas
This is a simple name/code lookup form, not a coverage-verification API — it identifies the carrier, it does not confirm a specific policy is currently in force
Certificates sometimes list a DBA or managing agent that differs from the underwriting company on file — try partial name matches
