How do you look up a plumbing license in Utah?
Plumbing license searches in Utah start on the DOPL public lookup with Name and Profession. The name route includes beginning-with and containing-name search choices, plus a profession filter; choose PLUMBER for the individual trade categories.

Open the name-search tab, enter the name you want to research, and use the profession filter. The form labels its broader name option “Search results CONTAINING "name" (wild card search)”. Use that option when you want the entered text to occur within a name rather than only at its beginning. Source: DOPL empty search form, read 22 October 2026.

The statewide contractor lookup guide covers the contractor record separately. A plumber-category search concerns the individual trade credential; keep the category you select alongside your own research notes.

The name and profession fields in DOPL’s lookup can guide your optional research while you describe the plumbing work in an InstaBids request.
How do you search by plumbing license number?
Plumbing license number searches in Utah use a DOPL form with Core # and 4-Digit # fields. The form distinguishes a core-only search from a core-plus-identifier search; use the credential information supplied to you rather than inventing either part.
Source: DOPL public license lookup, read 22 October 2026.
DOPL’s instruction for the core-only route is “Enter core number to view all licenses held by this licensee”.
Source: DOPL public license lookup, read 22 October 2026.
For the targeted route, the instruction is “Enter core number + four digit identifier to view a specific license held by this licensee”. These are instructions on the empty form, not a description of any person’s results. Source: DOPL number-search instructions, read 22 October 2026.

Keep DOPL’s core number and four-digit identifier instructions with your optional lookup notes as you prepare a written plumbing request on InstaBids.
Which plumber license categories appear in Utah’s search?
Plumber license categories in Utah’s DOPL search include Apprentice Plumber, Journeyman Plumber, Master Plumber, Residential Journeyman Plumber and Residential Master Plumber. The search places these individual credentials together beneath PLUMBER, so preserve the complete category label when selecting the profession filter.
Source: DOPL public license lookup, read 22 October 2026.
The PLUMBER filter presents 5 individual categories. Journeyman and master each have a residential counterpart; apprentice appears as its own category. The DOPL profession list is the profession-specific agency starting point, distinct from a contracting-business search. Source: DOPL profession list, read 22 October 2026.

For the statutory licensing basis, the Legislature publishes section 58-55-301, effective May 7, 2025 and marked for supersession January 1, 2027. Read the provision with its exemption cross-references; no conclusion about a particular person or project appears here.

Distinguishing DOPL’s apprentice, journeyman and master categories is optional research you can keep beside the plumbing scope you write for InstaBids.
What does the plumbing license probation notice say?
Plumbing license searches in Utah share a DOPL notice about probation labels: the notice names Active on Probation and Restricted Active on Probation. Read the agency’s complete wording below and read any status field exactly as the record presents it.
Source: DOPL public license lookup, read 22 October 2026.
DOPL’s notice reads: “The Division will no longer distinguish between probationary licenses that state "Active on Probation" and "Restricted Active on Probation". All probationary licenses will now only say "Active on Probation".” Source: DOPL lookup notice, read 22 October 2026.
Source: DOPL public license lookup, read 22 October 2026.
The notice explains terminology on the search page. No individual result was retrieved for this guide, so the notice is not evidence about a particular worker’s status or a complete list of possible status labels.

DOPL’s probation terminology belongs in your optional public-record research, separate from the fixtures, repairs and other tasks described in your written InstaBids request.
Where can you report a plumbing license concern?
Plumbing license concerns in Utah can go through DOPL’s complaint page, which offers online filing and a manual complaint form. DOPL also publishes a separate disciplinary search by entity name, license number or individual name; the complaint process and disciplinary search serve different purposes.

DOPL states: “By law, complaints concerning a violation of Utah's occupational and professional laws are not public information.” For public disciplinary information, follow DOPL’s Disciplinary Actions and Citations guidance.
