Verify a NZ plumbing licence in one click.
Enter a PGDB licence number and we'll fetch it straight from the PGDB public register: licensee name, licence class, and current status in one brand-tinted card. No signup. Nothing stored.
Why this tool
A direct view into the PGDB register — no detours.
NZ-based
Built and supported in Christchurch. URLs, copy, and register choice are tuned for tradies who actually operate against PGDB / EWRB daily.
Live PGDB source
Every look-up fetches the PGDB public register on demand — the result you see is the register entry, not a cached copy.
Nothing stored
We forward the licence number to the register and return the answer. No logging, no form fields shipped to a database, no marketing trail.
What this tool does
Check a licence number against the live PGDB register.
One input, one result card. The card surfaces the licensee name, licence class, and current status with a direct link to the same entry on the PGDB register so you can audit the source yourself.
10 free checks per hour per IP — shared with the PGDB + EWRB tools so you do not exceed aggregate lookup capacity.
How it works
Three steps from licence number to verified result.
The lookup is a thin, audited pass-through to the PGDB public register. Below is the path each look-up takes — the bits that move, the bits we record, and the bits we do not.
Enter the licence number
PGDB numbers usually start with P (plumber), G (gasfitter), or D (drainlayer). We strip whitespace automatically.
Server hits the PGDB register
A short-lived request goes from our server to the PGDB public register on your behalf. 10 free look-ups per IP per hour.
Result in a brand-tinted card
You see the licensee name, licence class, and current status with a direct link to the same entry on the PGDB register.

Wider PGDB workflow
Looking for the broader PGDB compliance workflows?
The lookup is one step — verifying a licence is current. KoruAI automates the paperwork side too: CoCs, gas safety records, backflow test results, CPD entries, all drafted from a single job note and approved in your dashboard.
