Before you rely on it

Only the electrical contractor licence (C) authorises a business to offer electrical work. Supervising, journeyman and limited-scope licences are held by people: an electrician on someone's payroll is properly licensed and still not a licensed contractor. Check the business's C number when what you are checking is who you are paying. This register lists only currently active licences, so a licence that has lapsed or been revoked is absent rather than shown as expired, and the Building Codes Division republishes it in bursts weeks apart — every record says how old the data is in data_as_of.

What Construction Contractors Board does not publish
