Licence search

Licence search helps you find licence holder details faster. It appears only where a supported register is wired into the template.

In-form licence search

On supported templates, tap Search on the licence area to query a public register and prefill licence fields.

After you pick a result, check:

• Name
• Licence or contractor number
• Qualified supervisor number where relevant
• Expiry date
• The person actually responsible for the work on site

Registers can lag renewals or contain names that need careful matching. If search fails, type the details manually.

Licence check tool

Open Tools -> Licence check when you want to check a licence outside a form. Search by licence number, business name, or holder name.

Licence check is available on paid plans for live public registers in NSW, QLD, VIC, ACT, and WA.

Tradie Forms does not currently search the SA, TAS, or NT registers. Open the relevant official register directly when you need to check a licence in one of those states.

Results can help you find the right record faster, but they are not a substitute for checking the official register and your job requirements.

Requirements

In-form licence search and Licence check require a paid plan. The exact registers depend on the template or state you select.
