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.

Thanks for the feedback!

Your welcome, did my advice help? Were you able to confirm?
