How District of Columbia General Contractor license verification works
A General Contractor in District of Columbia is licensed by the DC Contractor Licensing Board. When this board is live, PrimaryCheck will query it directly for status, expiration and disciplinary actions and attach the board's record as evidence. Until then the API answers honestly with unable_to_verify and the reason, and the coverage endpoint reports this row as blocked.
