Verify a contractor with Trust Oracle →- 1. We'll copy your search term to the clipboard and open the official Ohio eLicense lookup in a new tab.
- 2. Paste it into the search box (the field auto-focuses on most browsers).
- 3. Confirm the status reads "Active" and the license type matches the trade you're hiring for.
Why verify?
- Unlicensed work can create expensive headaches. Permits, inspections, warranty disputes, resale disclosures, and insurance questions all get harder when the trade should have been licensed and you did not confirm it.
- License lookup gives you an accountability trail. You can confirm the legal name, status, credential type, and expiration details directly in the Ohio system before you hire.
- Trades that require an Ohio license: Plumbing, HVAC, Electrical, Hydronics, Refrigeration. Appliance repair generally doesn't.
