In Illinois, electricians must be licensed by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). You can verify an electrician's license status through IDFPR's online portal at idfpr.illinois.gov. Always confirm that the electrician holding the license is the one performing the work at your home.

Most electrical work in Chicago requires a permit from the City of Chicago Department of Buildings. Permits help ensure that work meets current building and electrical codes and that it is properly inspected. When you hire an electrician, ask whether a permit is needed for your project and whether the contractor will obtain and manage it.

Before hiring, ask the electrician about their license type, how they stay current with code requirements, and what their process is for obtaining permits. Ask for references and verify their license number directly with IDFPR.
