Vehicle Address Changes - Plumbing

The Maryland State Board of Plumbing has received a number of inquiries regarding the proper display of licensing information on vehicles. The portion of our law that pertains to that subject matter appears below for your convenience. This requires the license holder to notify the Board of any address changes prior to the effective date. The Board's records must be maintained with accurate information. We rely on you to update your changes so that documentation can be accurately routed to your current mailing address. Some of the documents include: renewal notices, applications, training information, mass mailings and many more.
