Quick answer

Go to the Colorado DORA (Department of Regulatory Agencies) website, search by name or license number, and confirm the license is 'active' and free of recent discipline.

Where to look up licenses

Colorado DORA maintains a searchable directory at dora.colorado.gov. Plumbers, electricians, real-estate agents, attorneys, and many trades are listed.

What to confirm

Confirm the license is 'active' (not lapsed), the name matches the business, and there is no recent disciplinary action.
