The California Application For Original Contractors License is a legal document issued by the Contractors State License Board (CSL) of the State of California. This document is required for individuals or businesses who wish to become licensed contractors in the state of California. This application is required for a variety of contractor license types, including general contractors, specialty contractors, residential contractors, and commercial contractors. The application consists of two main components: the application form and supporting documents. The application form must be completed and submitted to the CSL, along with supporting documents such as proof of identity, proof of insurance, and experience documents. Depending on the type of license being applied for, there may be additional requirements such as a criminal background check. Once the application and supporting documents are submitted, the CSL will review them and issue the license if all requirements are met.
