City-level licensing in Nevada

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

One call. The whole picture.

The /verify response is identical in shape across every state, so your integration code never changes per jurisdiction:

GET /verify?state=NV&license=SAMPLE-12345&trade=electrical

{
  "valid": true,
  "name": "SAMPLE CONTRACTING LLC",
  "license_number": "SAMPLE-12345",
  "trade": "electrical",
  "expiration": "05/12/2027",
  "status": "Active",
  "state": "NV",
  "disciplinary_actions": [],
  "source_url": "https://app.nvcontractorsboard.com/Clients/NVSCB/Public/ContractorLicenseSearch/ContractorLicenseSearch.aspx",
  "cached": false,
  "checked_at": "2026-06-22T05:14:00Z"
}
