Lead Rental Certification and Accreditation
Main_Content
Welcome to the Maryland Department of the Environment’s Lead Rental Certification and Accreditation (LRCA) Homepage. LRCA is an online database created in 2021 to house data related to lead accreditations, certificates, and enforcement. Lead paint service providers can log into LRCA to apply for accreditation and issue lead inspection certificates. Lead training providers can enter classes and confirm attendance through LRCA. The general public can use LRCA's public certificate search to find lead certificates for individual properties. It is our expectation that this homepage will help you navigate the LRCA database. The LRCA database aims to improve and streamline process, increase effectiveness and efficiency, and to help the public gain access to certification information.
