Why Choose a Licensed Moving Company in California?

A license is more than just a number, it insures your protection. According to the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS), all household movers must be licensed to operate legally in the state of California. This ensures that every mover:

  • Has filed the appropriate documentation
  • Holds valid insurance coverage
  • Complies with consumer protection laws

Pro Tip: Always check a moving company’s BHGS registration before you select. You can look up licenses through the California BHGS website.

How to Verify a Moving Company’s License

Before you submit any payment or sign a contract, verify a mover’s credentials:

  1. Visit the BHGS License Lookup Tool

  2. Check FMCSA (for interstate) and BHGS (within California)

  3. Confirm the motor carrier permit and liability insurance

According to the California Public Utilities Commission, unlicensed movers are a leading source of consumer complaints and claims. The only way to secure yourself, is by employing only carriers who comply with all licensing and registration rules.
