Illinois requires electricians to be licensed. You can verify an electrician's license through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) online portal at idfpr.illinois.gov, where you can search by the individual's or company's name.

In Chicago, electrical work typically requires a permit from the Department of Buildings. The permit process helps ensure the work meets code. When you call an electrician, ask whether they obtain permits for your project—this is standard practice and protects your home's safety and your property's value.

Before hiring, ask whether the electrician is licensed in Illinois, what the timeline is, and whether they handle permits. Clarify the scope of work—whether it includes inspections, material costs, and cleanup. For major work like panel upgrades or EV charger installation, get a detailed estimate in writing.
