ESVConnect – Licensing and registration

A new system – new capability

In ESVConnect you can apply online for an Electrical Worker Licence, Restricted Electrical Licence, Switchgear Worker Licence, ‘L’ Licence, Electrical Inspectors Licence, register as an electrical contractor (REC) or apply to register a cathodic protection system.

ESVConnect will show all your associations with electrical licences and any associations you have with registrations. You can renew your licence or electrical contractor registration online and track the progress of your applications, change requests and licence card replacement requests.
