All licenses must be renewed separately by license credential number; however, the online renewal application process features a proxy payment link. This will enable the licensee to email a link to a third party for payment. For privacy and security purposes, the third party will only have access to information such as name, license type and number and payment amount. The licensee is responsible for following up with the proxy to ensure payment is made timely for their renewal.

In order to renew your license, a current Certificate of Liability Insurance (minimum amount $100,000) must be on file with the Board indicating the SC Contractor's Licensing Board as the "Certificate Holder" on the form. The policy of comprehensive general liability insurance must provide for the following minimum coverage: one hundred thousand dollars due to bodily injury, death, or destruction of property as the result of the negligent act or acts of the principal insured. Please submit this information via the Document Submission portal.

All licensees must verify their Qualifying Party(s) and Registered Employees (BAC only) during the renewal process. Prior to renewing your license, you may view this information online via LLR Licensee Lookup. If you need to make any changes to the information on file with the Board, please submit the appropriate form below via Document Submission or email.
