The credentials should match the individual’s identity, as well as be appropriate for the scope of work to be completed. Licensed individuals may not “sell” or otherwise transfer their credentials to an unqualified or unlicensed person. Licenses are issued by the Department of Consumer Protection only after an applicant has satisfied all education and training requirements.

Consumers and building officials can utilize the state’s public eLicense portal, https://www.elicense.ct.gov/, to check the status of any credential issued by the Department of Consumer Protection.

Building officials or consumers who need additional guidance can email dcp.occupationalenforcement@ct.gov.
