Authorized Electrician Licensing

An authorized electrician is a natural person accredited by the state energy regulatory authority with the right to perform electrical installations and power plants, as well as to prepare documentation related to the performed works.

In the context of regulating activities in the electricity sector subject to licensing and authorization, ANRE (National Agency for Energy Regulation) issues, suspends, or withdraws electrician licenses and monitors the activities of authorized electricians based on the Regulation on Authorized Electrician Licenses approved by ANRE.

The Authorized Electrician License is a personal document valid throughout the Republic of Moldova for a period of 5 years from the date of issuance. It certifies the professional competence of the authorized electrician and grants the right to perform electrical installations and prepare documentation for the completed works.

  • Series and Number of the License
  • ANRE Council Decision Number and Approval Date
  • Full Name of the License Holder
