Does your state require you have your license # on advertising?

[c2500]

I am curious if the state you reside or work in requires license numbers to be printed on business cards, etc?

I am in South Carolina and they do not.

Thanks,

Pennsylvania requires the so-called "residential contractor" number for any trade that does residential work on anything that has your name, telephone number and could be construed as an advertisement (incl. truck, invoices, proposals, cards etc.). The law came into effect on July 1st 2009.

New Jersey has that requirement.

He didn't 'go there'. He has always been there.

Required in my state. Big 50 year established companies disregard this law as far as I can see.

FL yes... on any offer of services. The exception is novelty items, uniform/Tee shirts, pens etc. . Evidently they dont see how I operate. They do want it on your web pages. I have the canceled check to proove it.

GA= No for elec. contractors, yes for HVAC contractors.


I put my lic. number on my business cards, and usually on advertising just to make the point that i'm licensed.

OK, I have not heard from NC or TN yet. I am getting ready to write and suggest this to my state representative. The unlicensed people are really making a major push for work and I am tired of it.

In California is required in any kind of advertising.

To include billing, proposals, letter-head, t-shirts, trucks and websites. If the company name is on it - it needs a lic. number. No name on truck - no lic. number....

Ditto that for WI as well.
