--- title: CityVerified: Check a Local Business Before You Hire It url: https://thecityverified.com/ updated: 2026-10-29 --- [CityVerified Verification directory](https://thecityverified.com/) [How verification works](https://thecityverified.com/how-verification-works/)[Corrections](https://thecityverified.com/corrections/) [For businesses](https://thecityverified.com/claim/) Verification directory # Check a local business before you hire it We check that local companies are who they say they are: a real address, a working phone, an active license where the trade needs one and insurance sent to us by the insurer. Every record shows what passed, where it came from and the date we checked. Records updated October 29, 2026 · [What “verified” means](https://thecityverified.com/how-verification-works/) · [How we make money](https://thecityverified.com/how-we-make-money/) - **24** verified lists published - **71** cities covered - **90 days** between re-checks ## What we check on every business Four core checks, plus identity, address, phone and website. Each record keeps what public records show apart from what the business supplied. - **State license** Active on the state licensing board's public lookup. - **Business registration** An active company on the state business registry. - **Permit history** Permits pulled under the license, from county records. - **Insurance** A certificate the business sent, with its dates checked. Labelled as supplied by the business. **Verification is never for sale.** Businesses cannot pay to be checked, to pass, to be recommended or to have a result removed.
