Changing your licence details

If you would like to change the details on your licence, such as business names for a contractor licence or family name for a work licence, tick the appropriate box and complete sections three, six and seven. You will receive a new card after changing licence details.

If you have changed the legal name on your contractor licence provide the new name in the space provided. Note that if your ABN has also changed then you cannot use this form to notify of change and must apply for a new contractor licence using the application for a Queensland electrical contractor licence (PDF, 240 KB).

If you wish to change your business name details write the name in the space provided and indicate in the appropriate box if the name is to be added or removed from your current licence.

If you change your legal name you must provide a certificate of registration on change of name issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. If you change your legal and/or business name you must also provide an updated certificate of currency or other approved evidence of insurance. A certificate of registration, issued by the Office of Fair Trading, will be required for each new business name you wish to add to your licence.

If the name details on your electrical work licence have changed, please provide the new details in the space provided. Any changes to your family or given names must be accompanied by documentation. Acceptable evidence includes a certificate from the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, such as a change of name certificate or a marriage certificate.

When sending in copies of documentation in support of your application, make sure the copies have been verified or certified. A copy can be certified by a Justice of the Peace (qualified) or a Commissioner of Declarations, or verified by an authorised officer using the Department of Justice and Attorney-General' document declaration form (PDF, 115 KB).

The fee for this is $24.00 payable by cheque or money order (made out to 'The Department of Justice and Attorney-General') or credit card.
