  Requirements for Contractor's letterhead, business cards, etc.

California licensed construction contractors are required to include their contractor's license number on several documents

Here in the state of California, every licensed contractor must include his license number in:

  • All construction contracts
  • All Subcontracts
  • All calls for bids
  • All forms of advertising, as prescribed by the registrar of
    contractors, that the contractor utilizes

The first three are pretty self-explanatory, but the fourth item could cause you grief, if you're not careful. Not only does it apply to standard advertising avenues (newspaper ads; etc.), it also applies to your office stationery (ie: business cards, letterhead, fax cover sheets, advertisement fliers, etc.).

If you put advertising magnets on your car (or paint your advertisement on your truck, etc.) you must include your contractor's license number. If you put a sign outside your office, with your company name on it, you must include your contractor's license number.

Sponsor a Little League team or Pop Warner or ... ? Don't forget to include your license number with any "publicity" you get.

Now, while some of this may (or may not) be going overboard a bit, it's still better to put your license number on something that doesn't have to have it, rather than not putting your license number on something that does have to have it!
