I'm inquiring if a qualified individual from New Zealand can get a general contractor's license in the United States. And if so, what would it take to get the NZ experience accepted in the US?
According to this PDF guide from elicenseschool.com , there are no residency or citizenship requirements for obtaining a California contractors license. But, for the most clarity, it might be wise to contact the California Contractor State Licensing Board (CSLB) directly. You can do that here: Contact CSLB.
