How Maine Plumber license verification works

A Plumber in Maine is licensed by the ME 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 first_licensure mailing history actions cases other_licenses general.

Board note: ALMS regulators 4220 Electricians (MASTER / JOURNEYMAN / LIMITED ELECTRICIAN; helpers, apprentices, JIT do not match) and 4460 Plumbers (MASTER / JOURNEYMAN PLUMBER). Maine licenses no general contractor and no HVAC trade (oil/gas/propane technicians are the Fuel Board, 4320) → contractor_general / hvac not served.

What a Plumber license check returns

Field check	Passes when
`license_number`	Equal to the board's number, ignoring prefix and leading zeros
`name`	Last name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname
`license_type`	The record is a Plumber license, strictly (no near-miss types)
`status`	The board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag
`expires`	Expiration is on or after today, where the board publishes it
`disciplinary_actions`	Recorded and flagged with any order documents; never silently dropped

Verdicts: verified, discrepancy, not_found, unable_to_verify (with a reason), pending. See how verdicts are decided.
