Welcome to the Professional Regulation Unit!

We oversee the licensure, testing, registration, and discipline of more than 30,000 individuals in 67 trade occupations. This office also oversees the administrative and regulatory functions of 7 licensing Boards whose 56 members represent the various professions.

Our purpose is to examine and license all applicants for licenses with the Board of Examiners of Electricians, Board of Hoisting Engineers, Mechanical Board, Board of Examiners of Plumbers, and Board of Examination and Licensing of Telecommunication System Contractors and Technicians and Burgular Alarm Business and Agents.

The unit administers examinations to electricians, hoisting engineers, pipefitters, refrigeration technicians, fire protection sprinkler fitters, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and telecommunication system contractors and installers. Examinations are administered monthly at the Department of Labor and Training Building #73.

Effective January 1, 2009, we will no longer accept cash as payment for renewals applications and photos.
