Check the state licensing board

Electrician licensing is handled at the state level. In Texas, licenses are issued and searchable through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). In Florida, electrical contractors are regulated by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).

Each board offers a public license lookup where you can confirm a license number, holder name, status, and expiration date.

Confirm certifications separately

A license is not the same as a certification. Safety and specialty credentials such as OSHA training, NFPA 70E, and others are issued by different bodies and need to be checked on their own.

Ask candidates for documentation, and confirm the issuing body, credential number, holder name, and expiry date.

How NexSetu automates verification

NexSetu uses three tiers of verification. Self-Reported is what a worker enters. Document Verified reads an uploaded certification card to extract the issuing body, license number, holder name, and expiry. Government Verified matches the record against state sources like TDLR and DBPR.

Because NexSetu pre-builds profiles from public licensing data, many electricians already appear as Government Verified before they even claim their profile.
