Notice to Appear for Examination

Once the CSLB has approved your completed application, you will be sent a "Notice to Appear for Examination" in the mail, which will include your scheduled exam date and time. It generally takes 4-6 weeks to process your application and schedule your test date, from the time the CSLB receives it in the mail. You should receive your exam notice approx. 3 weeks prior to the exam date.

Note: The CSLB is currently back logged processing applications. It's now taking approx. 3 months to get a test date with the state from the time they receive your application.

We can help you avoid making mistakes in your application that can delay getting a test date. Please see our Application Processing Service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to complete the contractor license application process?

If all application materials are filed correctly on a timely basis and the exam is passed on the first try, a first-time applicant can typically expect 8–10 weeks to pass between the time he or she files the application and the time the license is issued.

Will the CSLB acknowledge receipt of my contractor license application?

The CSLB will send you a letter of acknowledgment. This letter will contain two important numbers: a nine-digit Application Fee Number and a four-digit Personal Identification (PIN) Number, together with instructions on how to use these numbers to check on the progress of your application.

How will I know if my contractor license application is approved?

After your application is reviewed and approved, you will receive a Notice to Appear for Examination.

How can I check on the status of my contractor license application?

You will receive an acknowledgment of the receipt of your application that will contain instructions on how to make inquiries. You will also receive your Application Fee Number and a Personal Identification Number (PIN) that will give you private access to your application status by calling the Board's automated toll-free number, 1-800-321-CSLB (2752).

What happens if my contractor license application is not approved?

Your application may be returned to you if it is insufficient or incomplete. You must provide any missing information, make corrections, and return your application within 90 days from the date it was returned. If it is not returned to the CSLB within 90 days, your application becomes void. You cannot reinstate it, and you must submit a new application and processing fee if you wish to pursue a license.

If my contractor license application is not approved, will the CSLB refund my application fee?

No. The fee is for processing the application, whether or not the application is approved. Since each application is filed for processing as soon as it arrives at the CSLB, the fee cannot be refunded.
