Be sure to notify CSLB when your business has moved or your telephone number has changed. Failing to update your information could mean major delays in receiving pertinent information related to your license.

CSLB wants to provide you with important, time-sensitive information concerning your license; plus, you are required, by law, to keep your business information up-to-date. Business and Professions Code Section 7083 states that licensees must notify CSLB, in writing, within 90 days of a business address change.

You can access the Application to Change Name or Address at the link below. Failure to do so within the 90-day period can result in administrative citations and/or fines. Keep in mind that if the new address is a post office box, the business street address is required.

Once you've submitted your application, you can verify with CSLB that it has been processed by calling 800.321.CSLB (2752) or by checking your license information online at https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/
