Bring your authority. Keep more of what you earn.
A credential is useful when its scope matches the work—not when it is stretched into a nationwide promise.
August 21, 2026 · 6 min read
DPOC is open to provider businesses across the United States. You do not need to buy a shared lead or pay to unlock a homeowner's phone number. You can apply with the authority, insurance, workforce, and service territory your business already has, then review the disclosed job terms before deciding whether to accept work.
That does not mean one credential covers every trade, every state, or every job. The authority must be active, verified against its issuing authority, applicable to the work, and valid where the property is located. DPOC also checks the provider's declared service coverage and the other records required for assignment.
Two ways people can participate
- Provider business: apply with the business's own applicable trade authority, insurance, workforce records, and the ZIP areas it actually serves.
- Crew member or worker: join a provider's private crew after that provider invites and covers you through its own verified workforce process.
A crew invitation is not a public shortcut around licensing or employment rules. The provider remains responsible for submitting accurate records, and the platform must still find the provider eligible for the specific job before it can be assigned.
What DPOC verifies before assignment
- The credential belongs to the correctly identified provider or contracting entity.
- The record is active, verified, and unexpired with the named issuing authority.
- Its classification or scope covers the requested trade and work.
- It applies in the job's state and any relevant local jurisdiction.
- The provider has declared service coverage for the job's ZIP area.
- Required insurance, workforce readiness, and signed job terms are current.
What happens if DPOC adds more authority later
DPOC may pursue additional entity-held licences or registrations over time. Each one must be issued to the correctly named DPOC entity, active in the relevant jurisdiction, applicable to the trade and scope, and supported by the required qualifier, insurance, workforce, agreements, and operating controls before the platform relies on it.
Until those facts are verified for a particular job, the system does not treat a future application, a credential from another state, or a general company statement as authority to perform that work. Adding authority expands a verified path; it does not retroactively cover unsupported jobs.
Why bringing your own authority matters
- You keep control of a credential that belongs to your business and continues to matter beyond one platform.
- Your eligible trade and service area can be evaluated from evidence instead of marketing claims.
- You can review scope, payout, fees, timing, and requirements before accepting a job rather than paying for a shared lead first.
- You spend less time racing other businesses for the same unlocked contact and more time deciding whether the actual work fits.
DPOC's message is economic, not magical: stop letting lead costs eat the job before it starts. The platform can reduce paid-lead friction and make job information clearer, but it cannot guarantee that a provider will receive jobs or achieve any particular income.
Keep every record current
Submit the credential exactly as the issuing authority displays it, including the holder name, number, classification, state or territory, issuing authority, and expiration date. Update insurance and service coverage when they change. An expired, mismatched, unverifiable, or out-of-scope record fails closed for assignment instead of being interpreted in the provider's favor.
Common questions
- Do I need to buy leads to apply to DPOC?
- No. DPOC does not charge a provider to unlock a shared homeowner contact. Applying does not guarantee jobs, hours, or earnings, and any job-specific fees and payout terms must be shown before acceptance.
- Can my provider business bring its existing licence or registration?
- Yes. Submit the credential with its exact holder, jurisdiction, classification, issuing authority, and expiration details. It must be verified and applicable to the particular trade, scope, and job location before it can support assignment.
- Can a worker join without owning a provider business?
- A worker can join through a private invitation from an eligible provider that is responsible for its crew and workforce records. That invitation does not replace any licence, employment, insurance, or other requirement that applies to the provider or the work.
- Will DPOC offer work under DPOC-held authority later?
- DPOC may add entity-held authority in more jurisdictions and trades. It will be used only after the correctly named entity's credential and the related qualifier, insurance, workforce, agreements, and operating controls are active and verified for that job. A future plan is not current authority.
- Does approval guarantee jobs or earnings?
- No. Application, verification, or account approval does not guarantee job volume, work hours, payout, revenue, profit, or earnings. Availability depends on customer demand and job-specific eligibility, and providers decide whether to accept offered terms.
