When Faxing Contractor License Documents Makes Sense

Most state licensing boards now accept applications online or by mail. However, fax remains useful for supporting documents and time-sensitive correspondence:

  • Your state board lists a fax number for receiving supporting documents
  • An employer needs to submit a signed experience verification form
  • You need to send updated insurance certificates or bond information quickly
  • A license renewal deadline is approaching and mail is too slow
  • You are submitting workers compensation exemption certificates
  • You need to send notarized documents or sworn statements as supporting evidence

Common documents people fax to contractor licensing boards:

Experience verification forms signed by previous employers or clients
Insurance certificates and bond updates
License renewal supporting documents
Change of business information forms
Workers compensation exemption certificates
Financial statements and bank references

Important: Most states require online or mail submission for primary license applications. Fax is typically accepted for supporting documents and correspondence. Always check your state board's website for accepted submission methods.
