Reinstatement of Contractor Licenses and Certificates

License Reinstatements

If the license has been expired for more than one year, the license holder must complete a new license application and submit supporting documents as required for a new license. Once reinstated, the contractor's license number will remain the same.

• Contractor License Application (PDF)
  • Secretary of State documents required to apply for a license
  • Supervisor Statement of Responsibility (PDF) - this must be completed by the supervisor certificate holder
  • Copy of the supervisor certificate holder's photo ID
• Information for right-of-way (ROW) licenses

Certificate Reinstatements

• Supervisor certificates: Standards and requirements
  • Within one year of expiration, the certificate may be reissued without a new application.
  • If the certificate holder reapplies within 3 years of the date of expiration, a new certificate application is required, but not a new exam.
  • If the certificate holder reapplies more than 3 years after expiration, a new certificate application, new notarized letters of experience, and a new exam will be required (if an exam is required for that certificate type).

Expiration Dates 

Expiration dates are listed on each certificate/license and on the city's licensed contractor search page.
