Everyone passes ID verification to join; whether you need a trade license depends on your state and the kind of work you take on.
Key facts:
- Required for all pros: Stripe Identity verification (government ID) at signup
- Licensed trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC and similar): you’re responsible for holding whatever license your state or city requires for the jobs you bid on
- Handyman-level work: many states allow smaller jobs without a trade license — check your local rules and job-size limits
- Stand out: upload your license, insurance, or bond to your profile so homeowners can see your credentials (what you can display)
