How Massachusetts Electrician license verification works

A Electrician in Massachusetts is licensed by the MA 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.
