Contractor
Did you know your Military Experience can give you credit towards the work requirement to get your Contractor License?
The CSLB will also evaluate college transcripts that may meet the contractor licensure requirements. Veterans are given priority application processing as well as assistance with fingerprinting requirements. Also included are email and telephone contact with CSLB staff.
All new contractor license applicants are required to submit fingerprints for a criminal background check. Be sure you disclose all convictions on your application. The CSLB has a Criminal Background Unit (CBU), and they will review the results of your Live Scan fingerprint results. If they do not meet the necessary standards and your application is denied, you will be notified by CBU and they will provide information on how you can appeal the decision.

Hi Paul,
California state requires that you show you have at least 4 full years experience in the construction field you are applying for. You can go back as far as 10 years to show a total of four years experience. We can help you prepare your state application for your contractor license. Our Application Processing can help you avoid making mistakes that can cause delays on getting a test date. The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) does not require any pay stubs or tax returns as proof of work. All you need is to fill out the “Certification of Work Experience” which is a part of your contractor license application. ” This form is where you write in detail your contractor work experience. At the bottom of the form is an area that requires the signature of someone who can agree or vouch for you supporting the work experience you have written. The state prefers the signature in support of your work experience to be one of the following: a current or former employer, fellow employee, union representative, foreman or supervisor, journeyman or other contractor with whom you have worked or done business. We hope you find this information helpful. You may also find answers to some of your questions on state requirements, on Contractor School “Contractor Licensing Information” section under the “Requirements” tab. If you should have any further questions, please feel free to contact us by phone. Our friendly staff is happy to answer your questions and can also help assist you in ordering your contractor license course.
