How to Check Your TDLR Electrician License Status Online

Working as an electrician in Texas requires you to keep your license up to date with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Letting your license expire can result in late fees and the inability to work legally on job sites.

If you aren’t sure when your renewal date is, don’t guess. Here is the exact, step-by-step process to check your TDLR electrician license status online.

Step 1: Visit the Official TDLR License Search

The state of Texas provides a public database for all licensed professionals. To get started, go directly to the Official TDLR License Data Search page.

Step 2: Enter Your Information

You can search using a few different methods depending on what information you have handy:

• Search by License Number: This is the fastest and most accurate method. Select “Electricians” from the “Inquire by License Type” drop-down menu and enter your license number.
• Search by Name: If you don’t have your license card, select “Electricians” and enter your first and last name.

Step 3: Review Your Expiration Date

Once you locate your profile in the system, click on your name to see your full license details. Pay close attention to the Expiration Date. TDLR requires you to complete your continuing education before this date to renew your license successfully.
