1.0M

Decision fit
Where this API path helps
Use WorkClear when a licence result needs to be checked once in the dashboard and then repeated through an API, bulk workflow, or saved compliance process.
Source proof
Coverage evidence for decisions
The API is backed by public-safe Source Intelligence coverage, so integrations can see which official register families are live, running, or explicitly unavailable.

Capabilities
What an integration can rely on
Search and verify
Find licence records by number, holder name, ABN where available, state, and sector-specific routing.
Coverage-aware responses
Surface the source family, state, status, and available register details instead of hiding jurisdiction boundaries.
Bulk and dashboard workflows
Use the dashboard for manual review, bulk checks for lists, and API access for automated product flows.
Operational freshness
Source refreshes, expiry sentinels, and repair lanes are tracked separately so customer-visible records stay clean.
Common questions
API buying context
What does the WorkClear licence verification API check?
The API checks WorkClear public coverage across Australian licence registers, including contractor, builder, tradesperson, real-estate, and selected security licence records where the source family is live.
Can WorkClear verify licences by licence number?
Yes. Exact licence-number checks are supported across live source coverage, with name, ABN, and category search available where the underlying register data supports those fields.
Does WorkClear explain which sources are live?
Yes. WorkClear publishes a public source coverage page and API status information so customers can understand live, running, blocked, and expanding source families.
