Gas safe ID number different?

[Just a tenant]

Hello
Can you guys in the know please help me out to put my mind at ease? Im a private tenant and
I have just checked my historical gas safety records for the property I live in. There are three. 1 that was here and the engineer ID is blank. Could it still have been/be valid as a historical 2 year one ? Then for the next two the name of the engineer is the same but the ID numbers are different. All certs are for august every year with no lapses but its obviously been a while since the ladt one and its possible the engineer has renewed his membership since. How long is the gas safe ID valid for? Does it change when you/your company renew?
The gas safe "check an engineer" website only returns both ID's as invalid but does not point out that it may only have expired.
Many thanks

We get a new license number each year. The registration number should be the same though, if he's put that on.

1 could be the company one and 1 could be the engineer id

Seems suspicious to me if they are reg numbers and coming up invalid on gassafe site

thank you for your prompt reply. So the engineers Id does change every time ? good. Or bad as I allready reported my landlord to hse! Dont I feel stupid, but im going to raise that with hse.
When you say registration number, do you mean serial ID? or the businness ID?
thanks again

hmmm serial numbers for the engineer is also different for but business id is the same. ...
the plot thickens.

yeah the business id checks out, its a real company. But i was thinking my agency faked the renewal certificate took a valid gas business name and copied the engineer name and just filled in any old number. ( yeah theyre like that) i was not here when the guy cme so dont know who they really sent. If i sound paranoid, its because I know them:smile:

You do sound a bit paranoid to be honest. Is there something with your gas appliances that you're actually concerned about?
