How verification works
A register search returns the licence holder, the licence class, the status and the expiry date. Refchecks licence verification covers construction credentials — the White Card, High Risk Work Licences and trade licences — read from the candidate's document and confirmed against the state register in a single check. This record type sits outside that scope.
