Steps

  1. Go to labor.maryland.gov/license/mhic/ and follow the link to the Home Improvement Public Query (hosted on the dllr.state.md.us Electronic Licensing system)
  2. Search by contractor personal name, contractor trade name, business location, salesperson name, or license/registration number
  3. Review the returned record for license status, and check for any listed complaints or disciplinary history tied to that license number
  4. For salespeople working under a licensed contractor, verify the salesperson record separately using the salesperson-name search option
  5. If online results are ambiguous, call the Maryland Department of Labor's Division of Occupational & Professional Licensing at 410-230-6231 to confirm status directly
  6. Cross-reference the license number provided on any contract or estimate against this lookup before signing, since Maryland explicitly recommends verifying before hiring
