Elevator Mechanic License Tracking
Track elevator mechanic licenses and QEI certification across your technician team.
Why this gets hard to manage manually
Elevator mechanics hold a state-issued license, and technicians performing safety inspections often need separate QEI (Qualified Elevator Inspector) certification. ComplyNestly tracks both.
Confusing a general elevator mechanic license with QEI inspector certification is an easy mistake to make, but only QEI-certified technicians can legally perform certain safety inspections in many jurisdictions.
- Elevator service and installation companies
- Operations managers assigning technicians to inspection work
- Companies proving current licensure to building owners or code officials
From the problem to the fix
ComplyNestly tracks each technician's mechanic license and QEI certification separately, so dispatch never assigns inspection work to a technician without the right credential.
- Track mechanic license and QEI certification as distinct credentials
- Automatic status tracking
- Reminders before renewal deadlines
- Dashboard and Action Center visibility
- Exportable reports for a building owner or code official

Frequently asked questions
Is QEI certification required for all elevator work?
No — it's specifically required for performing certain safety inspections in many jurisdictions, separate from general maintenance and repair work covered by a mechanic license.
How often does an elevator mechanic license renew?
Renewal cycles are set by individual state elevator safety boards — confirm your specific state's requirements.
Is there a free way to try this?
Yes. The Free plan supports up to 5 employees and 1 location, no credit card required.
Where this information comes from
Elevator mechanic licensing and QEI certification requirements are administered separately (state licensing boards and QEI certifying bodies respectively) and vary by state. ComplyNestly does not verify licenses or provide legal advice.
