SOCIAL
SECURITY
NUMBER
The following laws require that you furnish your Social Security Number to our agency:
FEDERAL LAWS:
42 U.S.C.A. §666(a)(13) requires the Social Security Number of any applicant for a professional license or
occupational license be recorded on the application for license; and
if you are a licensed health care practitioner, 45 C.F.R., Part 61, Subpart B, §61.7 requires the Social Security
Number as part of the mandatory reporting we must do to the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank
(HIPDB), of any final adverse licensing action against a licensed health care practitioner.
HAWAII REVISED STATUTES ("HRS"):
§576D-13(j), HRS requires the Social Security Number of any applicant for a professional license or occupational
license be recorded on the application for license; and
§436B-10(4), HRS which states that an applicant for license shall provide the applicant's Social Security Number if
the licensing authority is authorized by federal law to require the disclosure (and by the federal cites shown above,
we are authorized to require the Social Security Number).
FEES Attach the $50 non-refundable application fee for each application filed. Additional fees will be assessed after
Board approval and passage of the examination. Make checks payable to: "COMMERCE AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS".
(check must be in U.S. dollars and be from a U.S. financial institution.)
NOTE: One of the numerous legal requirements that you must meet in order for your new license to be issued is the
payment of fees as set forth in this application. You may be sent a license certificate before the payment you sent us for
your required fees is honored by your bank. If your payment is dishonored, you will have failed to pay the required
licensing fee and your license will not be valid, and you may not do business under that license. Also, a $25.00 service
charge shall be assessed for payments that are dishonored for any reason.
If for any reason you are denied the license you are applying for, you may be entitled to a hearing as provided by Title 16,
Chapter 201, Hawaii Administrative Rules, and/or Chapter 91, Hawaii Revised Statutes. Your written request for a
hearing must be directed to the agency that denied your application, and must be made within 60 days of notification
that your application for a license has been denied.
EXPERIENCE A minimum of 4 years of supervisory experience within the past 10 years immediately preceding the filing of an
application is required.
Submit not less than 3 notarized certificates in support of supervisory experience with application. If applying for
more than one classification, submit at least one experience certificate for each classification. (No two certificates in
the same classification shall be from the same person.) Inform the person completing your experience certificate that
they must describe in detail your experience performing on-site supervision and direction of employees in the
classification you are applying for.
Submit a Project List as documentation of the applicant's previous supervisory work experience. Use as many pages
as necessary to verify your four (4) years of supervisory experience. The Project List may be duplicated and is
available on the Contractor License Board's website at:
http://cca.hawaii.gov/pvl/boards/contractor/application_publication. Click on "Chronological History of
Projects Form".
Submit a separate Project List for each classification the applicant intends to engage. Only include work experience
performing on-site supervision and direction of employees.
Please ensure that the Project List is filled out completely (provide information in each column of the form) and that
it includes the following:
A description of your supervisory work experience performed in-house, with your own crew; and work or trades
that were subcontracted to other contractors; and the means and methods of each project listed.
The "Contract Amount" stated should be commensurate with information stated in the "Detailed Description of
the Work You Supervised".
The "Amount of Supervisory Experience" should only include the actual amount of time spent on-site
supervising your own crew. Do not include time spent for design, ordering materials, scheduling of downtime
for rain-outs or waiting for delivery of materials.

Statutes, Section 444-9.5 and Chapter 448E). YOU MAY NEED THIS TYPE OF LICENSE TO GET A BUILDING PERMIT.
MAINTAINING THE LICENSE
MAINTAIN
INSURANCE
Contracting entities must maintain continuous insurance coverage throughout licensure and keep on file in the
Board's office evidence of such coverage.
Failure to maintain continuous liability and workers' compensation coverages causes automatic forfeiture of the

require the entity and RME to apply as a new applicant.
ENTITY-RME
DEPENDENCY
RMEs who leave an entity shall notify the Board within sixty (60) days and apply to become a contracting entity,
obtain employment with another contracting entity or file an application to place the license on an inactive status
within ninety (90) days. Failure to do so within the required time period will cause automatic forfeiture of the
license.
BIENNIAL
RENEWAL
All licenses, regardless of issuance date, are subject to renewal by September 30 of each even-numbered year. To
ensure receipt of a renewal application, keep the Board informed of your address. (RME renewal applications will be
sent to the entity's address.) Applications are sent by mail before August 15, of each even-numbered year. Licenses
not renewed by September 30 are forfeited and the holders of a forfeited license are considered unlicensed and may
not practice. Restorations of forfeited licenses are accepted until November 30 of the even-numbered year with a
penalty fee. After November 30, restoration is not accepted and a new application for a license is required.

Pursuant to §436B-9, Hawaii Revised Statutes, your application shall be considered abandoned and shall be destroyed if you fail
to provide evidence of continued efforts to complete the licensing process for two consecutive years. The failure to provide
evidence of continued efforts includes, but is not limited to:
(1) failure to submit any required information and documents requested by the licensing authority within two
consecutive years from the last date the documents and information were requested, or
(2) failure to complete any additional requirements for licensure that remain after approval of your application, such as
attempting to complete an examination requirement, within two consecutive years from the date your application was
approved, or
(3) failure to provide the licensing authority with any written communication during two consecutive years indicating
that you are attempting to complete the licensing process.
If an application is deemed abandoned, the applicant shall be required to reapply for licensure and comply with the licensing
requirements in effect at the time of the reapplication.
Frequently Asked Questions regarding Abandoned Applications
1) Q: If after receiving my application the board or program requests additional information, how much time do I
have to provide them with the requested information before my application is deemed abandoned?
A: You have two years from the date the information is requested.
2) Q: If I am an applicant who is required to take a licensing examination in order to complete the licensing process
and my application to take the licensing examination is approved, how much time do I have to complete the
examination requirement before my application is abandoned?
A: You must make an attempt to take the examination within two years from the date your application is
approved.
3) Q: What is meant by "attempt to take the examination?"
A: You must register and take the examination.
4) Q: If the statutes or rules of the boards or programs do not set time limits on taking and passing the examination,
and the only requirement left for me to become licensed is to pass the examination, and within the two year
period I should fail the examination, re-register for the examination, but fail again, will my application be
abandoned because I could not pass the examination within two years?
A: Your application will not be abandoned because you would have demonstrated your efforts to take the
examination by registering for and taking the examination.
(NOTE: Our office will only be notified of your efforts if you take the examination as a Hawaii candidate.
Examination results will not automatically be provided to our office if you sit for the examination via another
state board. Therefore, if you are in this situation, please arrange for the test results to be sent to us).
5) Q: What does it mean if my application is abandoned?
A: It means that your application is no longer valid, will be destroyed, and you shall be required to reapply and
comply with the requirements for licensure at the time of the reapplication. To reapply, you must submit a
new application and you will be required to comply with the licensing requirements and pay fees that are in
effect at the time you submit your new application.
12/10
7) Q: Will any of the documents that supplemented my first application be saved in case I need to reapply?
A: No. When you reapply, you will need to again provide us with documentation.
8) Q: Will the application fee that I paid with my first application carry over to cover the application fee for my new
application?
A: No. You will be required to again pay the non-refundable application fee.
9) Q: If my application has not been destroyed does this mean that it has not yet been deemed "abandoned?"
A: No. Simply because an application has not been destroyed does not mean that it has not been deemed
abandoned.
10) Q: If I am currently unable to complete the licensing process (eg., no continued effort), how do I prevent my
application from being abandoned?
A: You have two years to complete the licensing process. However, if you are unable to show continued effort
for two consecutive years but you still intend to complete the licensing process, you must send a written
communication to the board or program prior to the two year expiration explaining why you are unable to
complete the licensing process within two years. Your written communication shall also request approval to
complete the licensing process by a specific date after the two year expiration. You will be advised whether
your request is approved or disapproved. If disapproved, your application will be destroyed and you will need
to reapply for licensure.
11) Q: Who do I contact to find out if my application is soon to be abandoned?
A: You may contact the Licensing Branch at (808) 586-3000.

This material can be made available for individuals with special needs. Please call the Licensing Branch Manager at (808) 586-3000 to submit your request.
6) Q: Will you be providing a notice to me before my application is abandoned?
A: It is not required that we notify you before your application is abandoned. However, some boards and
programs have taken the initiative to send out notifications.
