Check a Victorian building practitioner registration

Enter a registration number such as DB-U 12345 (domestic builder, unlimited) or CB-L 100598 (commercial builder, limited). We look it up in the Building Practitioner Register that the Building and Plumbing Commission (BPC, formerly the VBA) publishes on DataVic, and show its status, class and expiry.

What this check covers

  • Registered building practitioners in Victoria, such as domestic and commercial builders, by registration number.
  • The register is updated weekly, so a very recent change may not show yet.
  • Individual practitioners are listed without a name in the published data, so match the number to the card in front of you.
  • Plumbers are on the BPC’s own find a practitioner search, and electricians on the Energy Safe Victoria public register.

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.
