Business & LicensingQuestion 678 of 690

An applicant claims journey-level experience under a former employer who has since dissolved. Under Bus. & Prof. Code §7068 and CSLB procedures, the applicant's experience is generally certified by:

a.A self-affidavit from the applicant alone
b.A 'Certification of Work Experience' (form 13A-11) signed under penalty of perjury by a qualified person (employer, supervisor, fellow employee, contractor who worked alongside the applicant, building inspector, etc.) who personally observed the work performed
c.The CSLB Registrar visiting prior jobsites to verify
d.A notarized statement from the applicant's spouse

Explanation

Under Bus. & Prof. Code §7068 and CCR Title 16 §825, an applicant must show four (4) years of full-time, journey-level experience within the prior 10 years. The CSLB form 13A-11 'Certification of Work Experience' must be completed and signed under penalty of perjury by someone with firsthand knowledge — typically a licensed contractor employer, supervisor, fellow journey-level worker, building inspector, architect/engineer, or union rep. Self-affidavits alone, Registrar field visits, and spousal statements are not acceptable. False certifications are perjury and grounds to deny or revoke the license under §7124 and §7137.
