How to verify a contractor license in Georgia

Georgia contractor license lookups aren't available through TradesAPI today — the state restricts automated access to its licensing portal, and access to the official license roster is still pending. You can still verify a license by hand on the official state portal, and the live status page shows the moment Georgia coverage goes live.

Coverage status

Data source: Coverage in progress

We don't return Georgia results yet, so this page makes no claims about which Georgia trade types are covered. When coverage lands, it will use the same normalized /verify schema as every other state — check the status page for live availability.

City-level licensing in Georgia

Some Georgia trades are licensed by the city, not the state board. We also cover municipal licensing in Atlanta under the same normalized schema and the same /verify call.

One call. The whole picture.

When Georgia coverage goes live, the /verify response will be identical in shape to every other state, so your integration code won't change:

{
  "valid": true,
  "name": "SAMPLE CONTRACTING LLC",
  "license_number": "SAMPLE-12345",
  "trade": "general",
  "expiration": "05/12/2027",
  "status": "Active",
  "state": "GA",
  "disciplinary_actions": [],
  "source_url": "https://goals.sos.ga.gov/GASOSOneStop/s/licensee-search",
  "cached": false,
  "checked_at": "2026-08-14T07:00:00Z"
}

Example response showing the normalized schema. Wire it up against deterministic fixtures in the sandbox — no credit cost.

The official Georgia board portal is at https://goals.sos.ga.gov/GASOSOneStop/s/licensee-search — free to search by hand while TradesAPI's Georgia coverage is in progress.

Frequently asked questions

How do I verify a contractor license in Georgia?

Search the official Georgia board portal by hand — it's free. TradesAPI doesn't offer automated Georgia lookups yet because the state restricts automated access to its licensing portal, and access to the official license roster is still pending. The status page at tradesapi.com/status shows live availability.

Can I verify Georgia contractor licenses through the TradesAPI API?

Not yet. Georgia shows as "Coverage in progress" on the TradesAPI status page, and no Georgia trade types are covered today. Every other covered state is available through the same normalized API — see the status page for the live list.

Is Georgia contractor license data free to check?

The Georgia board's public portal is free to search manually. When TradesAPI adds Georgia coverage, it will join the same normalized API as every other covered state.
