Search Maryland elevator safety certificates

The Maryland Department of Labor posts a searchable database of active elevator inspection certificates. Beginning October 1, 2026, anyone can search by street address, city, or county. Building owners, renters, and the public can check if an elevator has a valid certificate. The law does not change inspection or posting rules; it adds easy public access online.
