A contractor shows a license number, but CSLB lookup says suspended. What should the customer rely on?

Correct Answer

C) Suspended status.

Treat the current suspended status as a reason not to assume authority to contract. A printed number, renewal receipt or verbal statement about an appeal does not establish reinstatement. Confirm any discrepancy with CSLB before proceeding. Source: https://web.cslb.ca.gov/Contractors/Maintain_License/Renew_License/General_Renewal_Information.aspx

Answer Options
