Check a QBCC licence
Enter the licence number from a builder’s or trade contractor’s QBCC card or quote. We check it against the register of licensed contractors and the suspension and cancellation lists the Queensland Building and Construction Commission publishes on Queensland open data, and show the licence classes.
What the result means
- On the register, no suspension this financial year: the licence is not cancelled and has not been suspended since 1 July. Check the class matches the work.
- Suspended this financial year: the licence was suspended at some point since 1 July and may or may not have been reinstated. Confirm on the QBCC’s own search before work starts.
- Cancelled: the licence was cancelled this financial year and is no longer on the register.
- Not found: check the number. Plumbing and drainage licences are on a separate QBCC register, and electrical licences are issued by the Electrical Safety Office.
Good to know
- The data is refreshed daily, so a change made today may not show until tomorrow.
- The published data has no expiry date. QBCC licences renew each year, so record when you checked.
- The QBCC licensee register shows the full history, including conditions and disciplinary records.
We do not store the numbers you check here. In Datesly, the same check runs from a subcontractor’s record and saves the result with the date, so you have a record for later. See features.
