How Alabama General Contractor license verification works
A General Contractor in Alabama is licensed by the AL Contractor Licensing Board. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.
Fields returned for this board: license_number kind name address city state zip phone fax bid_limit specialty expires extension_date inactive.
Board note: AL-GENCONBD: Licensing Board for General Contractors 'License Verification Search' (ASP.NET MVC, plain HTTPS, no captcha): GET /genconbd is the whole roster (~11,100 rows: 6,878 general, 4,106 S- subcontractor, 108 IA- inactive), cached in-process 1h; GET /genconbd/Details/<id>. Company licences only (no qualifying individual printed) -> a person's claim is verified only when the licence is in the person's own name, otherwise ambiguous_match for review with the full record. Covers contractor_general only: electricians (AECB), plumbers/gas fitters (PGFB) and HVAC (HACR Board) are separate Alabama boards, not built.
