EP20: NJ Contractor Check: Verify Registration Before You Renovate

A practical shore-ready checklist for verifying a New Jersey home improvement contractor’s registration before you pay a deposit. Key rule: Home improvement contractor registrations are issued to the business, not the individual. Use Business Search on the state portal — not Person Search. * Official verification portal: newjersey.mylicense.com/verification [https://newjersey.mylicense.com/verification/] * NJ Consumer Affairs HIC page: njconsumeraffairs.gov/hic [https://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/hic] * NJ AG Licenses & Permits hub: njoag.gov/resources/licenses-permits [https://www.njoag.gov/resources/licenses-permits/] 5-minute checklist: (1) Ask for the exact business name and registration number. (2) Open the NJ portal — use Business Search. (3) Search multiple ways. (4) Match name, address, and status. (5) Treat “don’t worry, we’re registered” as a signal to verify harder.
