How it works

Get your CE tracker running in 2 minutes

Three steps to never worry about your renewal again.

1

Find your electrician license

Search by name and we'll pull your WA electrical license, expiration date, and status from the L&I database.

2

Log your CE hours

Track continuing education across NEC Code, RCW/WAC, and Industry Related categories. Upload certificates as proof.

3

Renew on time, every time

Get email reminders starting 12 months before your license expires. See exactly how many hours you still need in each CE category.

Features

Everything a WA electrician needs to stay current

Track your 8h NEC Code, 4h RCW/WAC, and 12h Industry Related hours — all in one dashboard.

License Lookup

Pull your license status, expiration date, and contractor info straight from the WA L&I database.

CE Hour Tracking

Log hours for NEC Code Update (8h), RCW/WAC Update (4h), and Industry Related (12h) — upload certificates as proof.

Renewal Reminders

Get email reminders 12, 6, and 3 months before your electrical license expires — so renewal never sneaks up on you.

Why it matters

What happens when your electrician's license expires?

An expired license can shut down your career overnight.

You can't work

Performing electrical work with an expired license is a violation of WA state law. You must stop pulling permits and working on job sites immediately.

Fines up to $5,000

WA L&I can fine unlicensed electrical work up to $5,000 per violation. Your contractor and the property owner can be penalized too.

Lost contracts

General contractors and shops check L&I before hiring. An expired license means you're off the job site until you renew.

LicenseGuard sends you reminders starting 12 months before expiration — so you never get caught off guard.
