Contractors license

CaliforniaConstruction ContractLicenses

I'm trying to get my contractors license for painting. I was in jail for 2 days for driving without a license. Can that affect me for applying for the license. And it was a misdemeanor by the way.

A criminal records will slow down the licensing process.  Fortunately, a misdemeanor is not a major event that would derail an application process.  It depends on how old the criminal matter was.  If more than 5 years ago.. no problem.  If within last 5 years.. then you're going to have to jump through a lot hoops with CSLB. Our office has dealt with similar situations and can guide you through the process.
