How Virginia Electrician license verification works
A Electrician in Virginia is licensed by the VA 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 name license_description rank type specialties status issued expires address.
Board note: VA-DPOR: dporweb.dpor.virginia.gov LicenseLookup (Java app; reCAPTCHA on the page but not enforced server-side; honeypot 'phone-number' must stay empty). POST LicenseDetail by 10-digit number; AdvancedSearch by name+board+license type. Contractor/tradesman records print no status (expiration governs, status check = None); real-estate records print Status.
