Your license number in Indiana
Your license number: Indiana's own pages show no state rule that puts it on paperwork. The Indiana Code could not be searched for a license-number rule.
Indiana's board, and when this was checked
The board: No statewide general-contractor board (plumbing: Indiana Professional Licensing Agency — Plumbing Commission). As of November 6, 2026.
Worth knowing: The state business guide that says Indiana licenses only plumbers among contractors carries no date and appears to date from the late 2000s; no newer state page saying the same was found, though it matches how licensing works today.
Worth knowing: The state code's own website could not be read, so the plumbing license law is cited by its article, not by a section number.
This is a summary of each state's own pages as of November 6, 2026, not legal advice. Rules change, and cities and counties add licenses of their own. Check with your state's board, linked on this page, before you rely on it.
