License
Your license.
What Chicago asks of a electrical business, and where your website comes in.
Checked 2026-10-05 at each source. Not legal advice: rules change, so check with the board before you rely on one.
On your website
Put the number in the footer of every page and beside every quote form, under the business name it is issued to. No rule we found asks for it on an ad here. It is still the first thing a careful customer checks.
