How To Get Your D-34 Contractors License

Fun Fact.

The D-34 Contractor License is one of my favorite.

Why?

Because I have great memories playing on playgrounds at school when I was a kid.

And that’s exactly what you do and so much more.

BUT WHAT DO YOU NEED TO GET YOUR LICENSE?

When it comes to getting your D-34 Contractor License there are a few things you need to know.

1. Must have 4 years of experience doing D-34 work

2. Must be over 18

3. Must have a valid SSN or ITIN

These are all the necessary requirements in order to be eligible to get your license.

I know what your thinking, “too good to be true.”

Well, that’s it.

As long as you have your experience you’re nearly there. All it takes is passing one measily test.

For more clarification you can check out the CSLB’s website on experience requirements for the exam. 

PASS A STATE TEST

Wait? Did I say a measily test?

Well I lied.

The test is difficult. In fact it was written by lawyers for that very reason.

Yes, it is true you can go and take the test right now. But chances are you will fail and waste time and money.

However I present to you a solution.

How do you verify your experience?

How long does it take?

You’re likely trying to get the license ASAP. Maybe your beinng threatened by legal actions and trying to get it quickly.

But that doesn’t mean it won’t take time.

The CSLB takes 4-8 weeks alone to process your application before scheduling the test date. Which you do as of late.

So yes you could get it done in a couple months.

3 is the average and is a good is a good timeline.

You want to be able to learn and be prepared for not just the test but also your business once you have your license.

What’s the best business entity?

I am going to share with you a business insider secret. 

So be careful this may just blow your mind and save you tons of money. Or get you out of a bind one day. 

S Corps are the best for contractors. Especially for those starting a small business. 

Which is what a S Corp is specifically designed for. 

The Contract Bond

A contract bond is necessary. This is true. 

But only after you pass your contractor exam. 

What I’m saying is you have time. 

How do I study??

I appreciate your enthusiasm. 

The best way I have seen students study them pass their test is… consistency. 

Specifically consistency with practice tests. 

These will help you retain the most information while also simulating the real thing. 

So do that. Yeah. 

Finally

A few words of encouragement. 

You got this!

Yes that is a lot of information, but the important thing is to get started. 

You can’t succeed until you take the first step.
