How verification works

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.

Verified against the WA Government Online Licence Search, operated by the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety. Where the register and this page differ, the register prevails.
