Update an inspector or technician license

Change of information

Licensees must notify BAR within 14 days of any changes to the following information:

  • Name
  • Address (address of record and mailing)
  • Phone number
  • Email

Change your information 

California law requires BAR to post a licensee's address of record on its website. Any enforcement action taken against a license is also posted. (California Business and Professions Code section 27)

You may provide a post office box or work address as your address of record. Be sure to also provide a mailing address to receive important notices from BAR.

For faster processing, we encourage you to submit a change request online. You may submit a paper form by mail, but please note that processing may take longer for mailed requests.

Name and gender change notification and request for confidentiality (SB 372)

BAR’s license print feature provides licensees the convenience of self-service license printing, eliminating the need to wait for the license mailed by BAR’s print vendor or request a duplicate/replacement license.
