Pain points

• Verifying a Nevada contractor on the NSCB portal is one slow manual lookup at a time.
• NSCB's multi-step WebForms search is hard to automate — each query requires an autopostback handshake before the actual search.
• Registry pages return HTML, not JSON, and aren't structured for compliance workflows or CRM enrichment.

What we solve

• Verify any Nevada NSCB contractor by license number, business name, or principal/QI name — one search.
• Returns status, trade classifications, bond info, principals, qualified individuals, and addresses from the official registry.
• Handles the two-step NSCB postback flow automatically — just provide a query.
• Enrich a license number or name into a full structured record; pay per match, empty searches free.

Summary

Look up and verify any Nevada contractor from a single search — type an NSCB license number (e.g. '0014202'), a business name, or a principal's name and get back the licensed business, status, trade classifications, contractor's bond, qualified individuals, and full address, straight from the official Nevada State Contractors Board (NSCB) registry. Detail enrichment is on by default, so each match returns a complete record with all available fields. Built for fast verification, compliance checks, and enriching a license number or name into a structured record.

Who it's for

• GCs and hiring managers vetting Nevada subcontractors before award
• Insurance underwriters and lenders running KYC checks on Nevada contractors
• Compliance teams and procurement platforms verifying NSCB license standing
• RevOps and BD teams enriching contractor lead lists with official license data

Pricing (Pay Per Event)

You pay per result (dataset-item) — no charge for empty runs. Example: 100 verified license records at $0.004/result ≈ $0.40.

Illustrative — the final per-result price is set at publish time. Apify platform usage (compute) is billed separately per your plan.

Use cases

• License verification — confirm a Nevada contractor's status, trade classifications, bond type, and expiration before hiring or onboarding.
• Principal/QI lookup — find every license tied to a specific individual (owner, president, or qualified individual) by searching their name.
• Record enrichment — turn a license number or business name into a full structured record for a CRM, compliance platform, or vetting workflow.
• Lender / insurer due diligence — pull authoritative NSCB data on demand to verify a contractor's standing and bonding before extending credit or coverage.

Why this actor

• Straight from the official Nevada State Contractors Board (NSCB) registry — authoritative, not a stale third-party copy.
• Handles the NSCB multi-step autopostback flow automatically — no browser required, fast and cheap.
• Returns full detail per match: address, phone, principals, QI, bond info, and trade classifications.
• Pay per match; searches with no results are free.

Limitations & updates

Covers Nevada's NSCB public contractor registry only. Results reflect the live registry and change as it updates. Name searches return up to the first page of results (~25–350 rows depending on the query); very broad queries may be capped — refine the name to narrow. License number lookup returns the matching row(s) directly. Runs are bounded by maxResults (default 50).

FAQ

Where does the data come from?

The official Nevada State Contractors Board (NSCB) public 'ContractorLicenseSearch' portal — authoritative public-record data.

What can I search by?

A license number (digits only, e.g. '0014202'), a business name, or a principal/qualified-individual name. Use the 'searchBy' field to select the mode; 'auto' handles digit-only vs. name classification automatically.

What fields do I get?

License number, business name, DBA, NV business ID, trade classification, status, city, and state always. With includeDetails on (default): full addresses, phone, business type, principals, qualified individuals, bond details, and dates.

How am I charged?

Pay-per-result — per license match returned. No charge for searches with no results.

Is this personal data?

It's public professional-license data (business and license-holder records as NSCB publishes them on its public portal); we add no personal/PII enrichment.

How current is it?

It reflects the live NSCB record at lookup time — the same data you'd see on the public portal.
