How Kentucky Electrician license verification works

A Electrician in Kentucky is licensed by the KY Contractor Licensing Board. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.

Fields returned for this board: license_number license_type status issued expires expires_with_grace dba_name.

Board note: DHBC Licensee Search (WebForms, no captcha): Division of Electrical (Master/Electric/Contractor Electrician), HVAC (Master HVAC Contractor, Journeyman HVAC Mechanic), Plumbing (Master/Journeyman Plumber). Name field is 'contains' on 'Last, First M'. Detail page adds Expire Date with Grace Period. Kentucky has no statewide general-contractor licence (contractor_general not covered).
