BDCS Articles/Organize your contractor license records

By BD Contractor Services · Updated November 13, 2026

Build a working list of the company records you want reviewed. Start with the exact legal name and any trade names, then list the jurisdictions where the business operates.

Record each item separately

  • License or registration type and issuing jurisdiction.
  • The number and name shown on the record.
  • Expiration or filing dates shown in the documents you hold.
  • The latest notice, submitted filing or confirmation.
  • Any uncertainty about the status or the next action.

Keep the source document with each entry. If a date or number is unavailable, mark it Unknown so it can be checked. Include records held by an individual when they are relevant to the company's work.

Prepare for the free status audit

Complete the detailed intake with the licenses and corporate registrations you want checked in DC, Maryland and Virginia. BDCS uses the intake to review the corresponding records and follow up with findings. Cleanup and ongoing support are scoped and priced individually after the audit.
