Built for licence checks
Start with search, grow into automation
Start with a simple web check. Upgrade when your team needs API access, bulk uploads, and higher verification volume.
Check a licence instantly
Use the free web search to confirm a licence holder, licence number, status, class, and official register source.
Add checks to your own systems
Paid customers can call the same licence check from onboarding flows, marketplaces, CRMs, portals, and back-office systems.
Check supplier lists faster
Use bulk verification when teams need to process contractor lists, onboarding queues, or recurring supplier reviews.
Preview the API response
Use the dashboard result to inspect fields, source context, request parameters, and JSON response shape.
The web search helps users trust the data. The API lets teams put the same licence check inside onboarding, procurement, and marketplace systems.
Why it matters
From one-off checks to retained compliance evidence
The strongest customer loop is not just finding a licence. It is keeping a supplier list current, knowing when licence availability changes, and producing evidence when someone asks how a decision was made.
Licence availability
8 jurisdictions show what can be searched now, what is refreshing, and what is not live yet.
Clear availability
Live, updating, not live yet, and unavailable categories are separated before customers rely on a check.
Official register links
WorkClear points each supported licence category back to the government register behind it.
API for paid teams
Paid teams can embed licence checks directly inside onboarding, procurement, and marketplace systems.
Fit for real users
Built around the teams who repeat checks
WorkClear should speak to the teams doing the work: fewer manual register checks, clearer availability by state, a stable API, and evidence they can reuse.
Compliance teams
Replace register hopping with repeatable licence search, API checks, and bulk verification.
Marketplaces
Verify workers and businesses before publishing, renewing badges, or exposing profiles to customers.
Councils and procurement
Standardise checks for panels, permits, contractors, and renewal reviews across state boundaries.
