How to search the Arizona ROC by contractor name
You can search the Arizona Registrar of Contractors by business name two ways. On the official AZ ROC site (azroc.gov), use the license search and enter the company name to pull the license number, classification, status, and expiration. Or search the same business name on Plumb Intelligence’s free contractor lookup, which matches the name to the ROC license and shows the contractor’s recent building-permit activity alongside it.
The catch with searching by name is exact spelling. ROC records list the legal business name and any registered “doing business as” (DBA) names, so a company most people know by one name may be licensed under another. If a name search comes up empty, try the DBA, drop suffixes like “LLC” or “Inc,” or search a distinctive word from the name rather than the full string.
A name search should return the same five facts a license-number search does: the ROC license number, the status (ideally “Active”), the classification, the expiration date, and any disciplinary history. If two businesses share a similar name, use the address or license number to confirm you have the right one before you rely on the result.
At Plumb Intelligence we index the full AZ ROC roster against actual permit activity, so a name search returns not just the license and standing but whether that contractor is genuinely active — recent permits, where they’re working, and the size of their jobs — in one free lookup.
Related questions
- Can I search the AZ ROC without a license number?
- Yes. Both the official AZ ROC site and Plumb Intelligence let you search by business name; the name resolves to the license number, status, classification, and expiration.
- What if the contractor’s name returns no results?
- Try the registered DBA, remove suffixes like LLC or Inc, or search a distinctive keyword from the name. If it’s still empty, the business may be unlicensed — check the AZ ROC unlicensed-violator list.
- Does a name search show disciplinary actions?
- Yes — once the name resolves to a license, you can see status, classification, expiration, and any disciplinary history on file with the ROC.
