HOW TO CHECK IF YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS BEEN ISSUED A GUARD EMPLOYEE (GDE) LICENSE
- Go to http://cca.hawaii.gov/pvl/e_services/
- Click on the Professional and Vocational Licensing Search link
- Then click on the Business/Individual tab.
Enter your name (or the name of someone you are checking on) and if a GDE license number is displayed a license has been issued. If no GDE number shows it means the application has not yet been processed, or that no GDE license has been issued.
Per the DCCA, it takes 15-20 business days to process an application. Our experience is that it can sometimes be shorter or take longer. If you submitted an application and have not heard from the DCCA check your spam/junk mail folder for messages from ehawaii.gov; check your MYPVL account for letters or messages, or contact the DCCA at 808-586-3000.
