Free · BC Registries live · WorkSafeBC by a person

Check a BC contractor before they start.

Type the business name or its BC registration number. You get their registry status now. Ask for the full check and we pull their WorkSafeBC clearance letter addressed to you, plus their city business licence, within one business day. No charge, and they aren’t told who asked.

Straight from OrgBook BC, the Province’s public registry. Nothing is stored until you ask for the full check.

BC Registries

Registered, active, and what kind of business it is. Live, from the Province’s own registry.

WorkSafeBC clearance, in your name

Pulled by a person through WorkSafeBC and addressed to you, so it covers you rather than them.

City business licence

Whether they hold one for the city the work is in.

Why the letter needs your name on it

Under section 258 of the Workers Compensation Act, the person the work is done for can be held liable for a contractor’s unpaid WorkSafeBC assessment, and a contract clause doesn’t move that onto the contractor. A clearance letter addressed to the contractor doesn’t cover you. WorkSafeBC explains it here.

The usual practice is one letter before the work starts and another before final payment, so the whole contract period is covered.

If a contractor comes back clean, we’ll say so in one line. If they’re someone you’d book again, we’ll ask them to join the Prontco Verified list, without saying who suggested them, so next time the file is already done.
