FAQ

Where does the data come from?

ALMS Online (www.pfr.maine.gov/ALMSOnline), the State of Maine's public licensing search. Exports come from a stored copy made by searching every licence type with 'active licenses only' ticked and downloading ALMS's own CSV export; the run log gives the copy's date. Lookups search ALMS live.

Is there a phone or email?

Phone where the board publishes one: on 2026-11-04, 48% of active licences overall, but 94% of electricians, 95% of plumbers, 97% of fuel licences and 100% of barbering and cosmetology licences. Email on 14% overall, almost all of them insurance licences (95% of those). Nursing, the CNA registry and the CRMA/PSS credentials publish no phone.

Which boards are covered?

Every regulator on ALMS Online: the Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation's boards (Electricians, Plumbers, Fuel, Barbering & Cosmetology, Counseling, Massage, Accountancy, Real Estate and more), the Bureau of Insurance, Nursing, Medicine, Dental Practice, the Fire Marshal's sprinkler and fireworks licences, cannabis, CDC facility licensing and others. Put boards in Board and exact types in Licence type; leave both empty for everything.

Does it include contractors?

Maine has no general contractor licence. It licenses the trades: master, journeyman and limited electricians, master and journeyman plumbers, oil, solid-fuel and propane technicians, plus fire-sprinkler contractors and heating-oil dealers: 22,136 active licences on 2026-11-04 leaving out helpers, apprentices and trainees, 97% with a phone. Set Board to Electricians, Plumbers or Fuel.

Are expired licences included?

Exports return active licences only. A lookup searches every status (Active, Expired, Failed To Renew, Inactive and others) live.

How do I look up a person, a firm or a licence number?

Put names or licence numbers in queries and set mode to lookup. A person's name is searched as last name plus first name ('Carl Abbott' or 'Abbott, Carl'); a firm's name is matched if contained. Names are searched on both ALMS indexes, people and businesses. A business-name search across every board takes ALMS about 100 seconds; setting one Board makes it fast.

How current is it?

Exports come from a stored copy of ALMS Online, refreshed when it is over 30 days old and the actor is in use; the run log states its date, and a copy older than 45 days adds a free notice saying so. Lookups are live, and fall back to the stored copy (with a free notice) when ALMS is down.

How am I charged?

One event per licence returned. Notices are free.
