Hawaii: how to get licensed

Hawaii contractors are licensed by the Hawaii Contractors License Board. For the classifications we sell here, applicants typically sit a trade paper plus a separate Hawaii Business & Law paper. Confirm whether your classification is one sitting or two.

Choose the classification below. The next page walks the path for that license, then stays on this site: our state hub and the matching prep.

Trade exams (this is the license for the work)

Pick the trade you want to bid. That is the classification on the license.

Business exam (a second paper, not a trade)

This is not a plumbing, electrical, or building license. Many states make you pass this and a trade exam. Use it if you only need the business paper, or after you pick a trade.
