Self-Serve Licensing Platform

In late October 2025, ESA will launch its new online self-serve licensing platform — a modern system designed to make licensing faster, easier and more convenient.

With this new platform, licence holders and applicants will be able to manage their licensing needs anytime, from anywhere.

Stay Connected: Keep Your Email Up to Date

To receive updates — and to access the new licensing platform once it launches — you’ll need a current email address on file with ESA Licensing.

If you're a Master Electrician (ME) and/or Licensed Electrical Contractor (LEC), please make sure your contact information is correct so you don’t miss important communications by email.

To update your email, contact: ESA.Licensing@electricalsafety.on.ca

- Master Electrician (ME) licences
- Electrical Contractor (EC) licences
