How to check an electrician's license in Oakland
- Look the company up by name or license number (search Oakland). On the profile, confirm three things: Clear status, the C-10 license for this kind of work, and a contractor's bond on file.
- Before any money changes hands, verify the license on CSLB's own lookup. Our data comes from CSLB's weekly file, so a very recent change may not show here yet.
- Match the license holder's name to the name on the written contract and the person you meet. Since 57.2% of Oakland electricians claim a workers' comp exemption, ask who will actually do the work. Hiring checklist.
