The Washington Registered Contractor Card is a card issued by the Washington Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) to contractors who have satisfactorily completed a L&I approved contractor prequalification program and have been approved for a registration number. The card provides contractors with a proof of their qualifications and helps them gain access to working with certain public entities in the state. The card also requires contractors to meet certain requirements to maintain their registration number, such as providing a bond, liability insurance, workers' compensation insurance, and a valid business license. There are two types of Washington Registered Contractor Cards: General Contractor Card and Specialty Contractor Card. The General Contractor Card is issued to contractors who are qualified to perform general construction work in the state, while the Specialty Contractor Card is issued to contractors who are qualified to perform a specific type of construction work, such as electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and roofing.
