The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) snapshot dated 2026-08-25 shows license PB643902 (Pipelaying Bond) with status "VOLUNTARY TERMINATION", expired 2015-12-31. The issuing agency's live page is authoritative for today.

What this status means

The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) snapshot from 2026-08-25 does not show this license as active and in good standing. That is what the record said on that date. It is not a judgment about the person or the business. Before you act on it:

Check today's status first. Statuses change, and a snapshot can lag. The official MN lookup shows the board's current record.
Ask the contractor about it. There can be an ordinary explanation: a renewal in progress, a name change, or a newer license under a different number. Ask for the current number and check that one too.
Hold off on deposits until it is resolved. Permits, insurance claims, and your options in a dispute often depend on the license being valid for the work. The rules differ by state; the licensing board behind the lookup above can tell you what applies where you live.
