Arkansas Contractor Licenses
Different Boards and Divisions issue the contractor's licensing processes in Arkansas. It depends on the disciplines and the type of work to be performed. The specific requirements, examination procedures (if applicable), and testing companies vary for each board.
PSI©, ProV©, and Everblue® are some companies designated by the State to administer the exams for the licenses that require them, and some regulatory entities may even provide the examination services themselves.
The state-established regulatory Departments are the Department of Labor and Licensing (ADLL), the division that protects employers and employees on work-related issues following the AR law; the Department of Health (ADH), responsible for overseeing programs for drinking water, chemical exposure control, and protection of public health; the Department of Energy and Environment (ADE&E) that controls the environmental permits and related certificates; the Department of Agriculture (ADA), which issue the Pesticide Licensing, the Water Well program, the Pest Control and the Landscape trades; and the Department of Public Safety (ADPS), which provides services for the emergency response and law enforcement to guarantee the citizen's safety and security.
