Hi All

Recently read that the PGDB have remove from public view the registration numbers of Plumbers Gasfitters and Drainlayers or so I thought
when checking the status of licensed people I supervise.... there for all the world to see was my name and registration number.
Heck who knows how many jobs I am doing outside of Auckland.

Im sure that one day your local council inspector will ring you to b**** about a bad job that "you" have done. Happens quite a bit.

When you signed in did you go to the "tradesman's entrance" if so he numbers won't be hidden.  If you clicked on the public register I think it might have been.

Yes just checked by clicking "check the public register" and numbers appear as xxxxx - so I'm guessing you hit the top right button to go in as a tradesman.

Type in a licensed persons name. Open up their info. Their number is not displayed but their supervisor's name and number are displyed. All done through the  public search thing.

The Federation contacted the Board about this issue and the problem has been rectified. Thanks from the Board for identifying the problem and thanks to the Board for taking action to fix it.
