    How do you confirm someone is Licensed?
    How do you confirm someone is licensed electrician for your state? Additionally, what does it mean when they are "bonded"?

    As a licensed electrician, I am bound to produce my license to anyone who asks to see it.

    Course, even if the expiration date is valid, I suppose someone could still be a fraud.

    Take note of the license number, and you can contact your state Dept of Professional Licensing, or the agency that issues licenses to tradesmen.

    My State has a license search tool at their website to check for valid licenses:

    Licensee Search : Office of Licensing and Registration

    Bonded is explained here:

    What It Means To Be Bonded, Licensed & Insured

    Not the same as being insured for libility and workers compensation.

    Any contractor should be insured, not just bonded.
