## Usage notes

- Costs one credit per query.
- Searches official New Zealand professional registers: Electrical Workers Registration Board (EWRB), Financial Service Providers Register (FSPR), and Real Estate Authority (REA).
- EWRB searches registered electricians and electrical workers. FSPR searches registered financial-service providers, dispute-resolution schemes and registered services. REA searches licensed real-estate agents, branch managers, salespersons and agencies, including 3-year disciplinary history.
- Name matches are not proof of identity, and a no-match is not clearance. FSPR registration does not prove FMA licensing, regulation or endorsement. EWRB checks are limited to purposes permitted under section 140 of the Electricity Act 1992.
