How Oregon Electrician license verification works

A Electrician in Oregon is licensed by the OR 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 business_name status first_licensed expires entity_type endorsements associated_individuals unpaid_claims unpaid_civil_penalties complaints_10y sanctions_10y administrative_suspensions_10y workers_comp liability_insurance surety_bond.

Board note: contractor_general: OR-CCB, rung 1 (GET search_result.aspx?id=<#> + postback → business_details.aspx with associated individuals; name search POST /search/ → list_results.aspx; the reCAPTCHA token field is not enforced). CCB licenses businesses: a person verifies when listed as RMI/owner/officer, else discrepancy; no people printed → ambiguous. electrician + plumber: OR-BCD (verify/connectors/or_bcd), the Building Codes Division's active-licence list on data.oregon.gov (Socrata vhbr-cuaq, ~monthly, max age 60 d; active licences only so absent = not_found with that note). hvac: Oregon has no individual HVAC licence (CCB contractor endorsement) — not covered.
