How Iowa Electrician license verification works

A Electrician in Iowa is licensed by the IA 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 expires city county disciplines.

Board note: electrician: Electrical Examining Board search on dps-eeb.my.site.com (Salesforce Visualforce, same codebase as ia-plb; rung 1, captured 2026-11-04), connector ia_eeb; contractor licences are business licences (contact name only) -> ambiguous_match. plumber/hvac: Plumbing & Mechanical Systems Board on the DIAL AMANDA portal amanda-portal.idph.state.ia.us/adpereh (public JSON transactions, AES-ECB responseObject, no captcha token needed; rung 1), connector ia_pmsb — the record prints 'Individual License' only (trade/level not exposed), so license_type is reported as not checkable. contractor_general: Division of Labor contractor registration on laborportal.iwd.iowa.gov (AMANDA REST, rung 1), connector ia_iwd_conreg — business registration; a person verifies only when registered under their own name.
