Please note that effective January 1, 2004, Home Improvement Certification (HIC) will no longer be required. Legislation that created the HIC program will sunset on that date. All of the information contained in the HIC exam will be incorporated into the law portion of the Contractors License Exam, so it will no longer be necessary for contractors to obtain the separate certification. After January 1, 2004, HIC will not appear on the list of classes/certifications held by the contractor on license inquiries, and may not appear on the contractor's pocket license.

Enter the contractor license number to check the status of their license.

A California contractor license number doesn't contain alphabetic characters. Each contractor's plastic pocket license will show the respective license number. Begin entry of your license number at the left position and don't exceed 8 digits in the license number.
