What the Arizona Registrar of Contractors regulates
The Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) is the state agency responsible for licensing and regulating the construction industry in Arizona. A valid ROC license is legally required for most construction work valued at $1,000 or more — including labor and materials.
The ROC licenses contractors across residential, commercial, and dual classifications — covering general contracting, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, and dozens of specialty trades. License status, expiration dates, and trade classifications are all publicly searchable through the ROC registry.
Beyond the license registry, the Arizona ROC also publishes two enforcement lists — the Most Wanted list and the Unlicensed Violators list — identifying contractors with unresolved enforcement actions or confirmed unlicensed activity. CredentialClear cross-references every Arizona search against both lists automatically.
375+ unlicensed violators — automatically flagged.
The Arizona ROC publishes a public list of individuals and companies found performing construction work without a valid license. These are the ones they know about.
Every CredentialClear search in Arizona automatically cross-references the contractor name against both the ROC Most Wanted list and the Unlicensed Violators list. If there's a match, it's flagged immediately — before you make a hiring decision.

The ROC cannot assist homeowners or businesses when an unlicensed contractor is involved.
