Which DE classifications count as electricians

• Master Electrician — May contract for electrical work
• Journeyperson Electrician — Works for a master, not a contractor
• Limited Electrician — A named scope — signs, pools, HVAC wiring
• Residential Electrician — Dwellings only

A record's classifications array carries these codes, so you can tell a licence that covers the work from one that merely exists.

T1-0000001 is a real DE licence (ROBERT SHARP) in this trade, so that call works as written.

Before you rely on it

Delaware licenses the person, not the company. There is no electrical contractor licence to look up — ask for the master electrician's number and check that. A journeyperson or apprentice is a real licence but not authority to contract for the work, so read the type on the record, not just the status. Nearly half of Delaware's electrical file is homeowner wiring permits, which are not licences at all and are excluded here.

What Division of Professional Regulation does not publish

• General contractors — Delaware does not license them
• Company names — every trade license is held by a person
• Street address
• Surety bond
• Workers' compensation
• General liability insurance
• Disciplinary actions

Full coverage detail, including the caveats that apply to every Delaware lookup, is on the Delaware page.
