CILB 4 - Registered Contractor Qualify Additional Business Entity - new license

This application is used by individuals who are currently licensed by the Construction Industry Licensing Board and who wish to qualify an additional business entity. This applies to both licensees that qualify as an individual and those that currently qualify a business entity.

Application Requirements:
 
  • FINANCIAL/CREDIT: Applicants will need to provide proof of financial stability and responsibility by submitting credit reports for themselves and the business entities (if applicable). Credit reports must include a FICO derived credit score and indicate that local, state and federal records have been searched.

  • FINGERPRINTS: An applicant must have a background check as part of the licensing process. You must submit your fingerprints using a Livescan Service Provider registered with FDLE immediately after submitting your application for licensure. It may take up to five days for your fingerprint results to be received by the Department after they are submitted to the Florida Department of Law enforcement (FDLE). Please note that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement requires that an application for licensure should precede the submission of your fingerprints. To learn more about fingerprinting, please visit our Fingerprinting webpage.

  • NOTICE FOR APPLICANTS SUBMITTING FINGERPRINTS WHERE CRIMINAL RECORD RESULTS WILL BE USED FOR LICENSING PURPOSES
  • INSURANCE: Applicants are required to attest that they have obtained public liability and property damage insurance in the amounts determined by Board rule. Applicants are also required to obtain workers compensation insurance or obtain an exemption from workers compensation insurance within 30 days of issuance of their license.

  • LOCAL LICENSE: In lieu of a state certification examination, applicants for registration must show evidence of possessing a certificate of competency from a local licensing office. The certificate must bear the applicant's name and must match the licensure category sought.
  • BOARD APPEARANCE REQUIREMENT: If you do not own 20% or more of the proposed business, or if the approval of this application will result in you qualifying three or more businesses (regardless of whether or not you already qualify three or more), you will be required to appear in front of the Board.
  • FEE: Pay the required fee as provided in the application. Make check payable to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Military veterans, their spouses and Florida National Guard members may be eligible for a fee waiver, fee reimbursement, and/or fee discount. Please visit our DBPR Military Services page for more information.
