This is an interactive process. You will not be permitted to continue if required fields are incomplete.
Make sure you give yourself enough time to complete the entire form in one sitting. You will not be able to save a partially filled form to complete at a later time.
You are not eligible for Exemption if:
- You have employees, including Home Improvement Salespersons (HIS) or a qualifier who is a Responsible Managing Employee (RME).
- You hold a C-39 Roofing classification - all contractors with a C-39 Roofing classification are required by B&P Section 7125 to have a Certificate of Workers' Compensation Insurance or a Certificate of Self-Insurance on file with CSLB
Do not continue this process if you cannot certify that you are an Owner, Partner, Officer, Member or Manager on the license or application.
You will have a chance to review the information entered in its entirety. Once you agree to the contents, you will be given the option to submit the information to CSLB or save/print the document to your own device.
IF you employ persons in connection with your California contractor's license in a manner that invokes the workers' compensation laws of a state other than California, the Exemption information will not be submitted online. However, you may print or save on your own device to mail at a later time. The form must be signed and the certificate of insurance for that state must be attached.
Should you decide to print and mail the form, rather than submit it directly to the CSLB, a signature will be required or the document will be returned as unprocessed by CSLB.
The form will no longer be available to edit or save once it has been submitted.
Submitting this document WILL update the license or application record. Please be sure that the information provided is true and accurate.
Once the information is submitted to the CSLB, do not mail, fax or email additional copies. Copies received with the same information will cause a delay in processing.
This information and final instructions will be provided upon completion of the easy-fill form.
