This hasn't happened to me (yet), but I can see the potential. If the homeowner has pulled the permit for a remodel job all I need to do as far as the electrical permit is to call the city permitting department and ask them to add me to the permit as the EC. There is no way for them to know if it's me on the phone or the homeowner. As far as the license number, it's in the city data bank or if they really want to be prepared if available from the state licensing web site
http://lookup.llronline.com/Lookup/Contractors.asp. I was discussing this with another EC a few weeks ago and IMHO I could pull a permit, complete a job, and get it inspected on anyone's license that I wanted. I see this as a potential legal minefield.
