Step by step
- Ask the roofer for the license number. Florida requires it on bids, contracts and ads.
- Go to the DBPR license search at MyFloridaLicense.com and search by license number or name.
- Check that the status reads Current, Active.
- Check that the business name on the license matches the company on your contract. If the license belongs to a different company, ask why.
- Look at the license type (below).

CCC vs. RC: what the letters mean
| Prefix | License | Where they can work |
|---|---|---|
| CCC | Certified Roofing Contractor | Anywhere in Florida |
| RC | Registered Roofing Contractor | Only in the local jurisdictions where registered |
General contractors (CGC), building contractors (CBC) and residential contractors (CRC) can also do some roofing work, but a CCC or RC license means the company is licensed specifically for roofing.
