How do you find South Carolina’s residential electrical license lookup?
Open the Residential Builders Commission page and follow its “Licensee Lookup” link. South Carolina LLR, read 5 November 2026.

Use the Residential Builders Commission’s lookup link for your optional research, then describe the residential electrical tasks in your InstaBids written request.
Whose name belongs in electrical license research for South Carolina?
The electrical FAQ distinguishes the individual’s license from a listed company name. It says: "No. We license the individual, not the company. We allow the licensee to list a company name if they intend to operate under a company name. If you intend to operate under a company name, then that company name must be affiliated with your license in our database." South Carolina LLR, read 5 November 2026.
Source: Residential electrical FAQ, read 5 November 2026.
Keep the individual’s name and any affiliated company name as separate research notes while writing the electrical work description for your InstaBids request.
What does an electrical Certificate of Authorization mean in South Carolina?
The electrical FAQ identifies the Certificate of Authorization as a company license: "The certificate of authorization is a company license and requires that a resident licensee be in responsible charge of any residential electrical services that the company offers." South Carolina LLR, read 5 November 2026.

If your own research includes a Certificate of Authorization, keep that company document separate while describing the electrical responsibilities in your InstaBids request.
Can South Carolina’s license holder work while a complaint is pending?
