Electrical contractor license renewal instructions

Online renewal

Renew your license online here.
Be sure your business filing is up to date with the Minnesota Secretary of State.
If we do not have current liability insurance information for your company, submit an updated insurance certificate. Insurance certificates can be emailed to dli.license@state.mn.us.
If we do not have current workers' compensation insurance information for your company, submit a workers’ compensation insurance compliance form to dli.license@state.mn.us.

License bond is continuous

Bonds required for electrical contractors are continuous, so you do not have to submit bond forms with your renewal.
The amount of the bond is also cumulative, which means there is $25,000 coverage for each two-year license term.

Secretary of State filing

To renew your license your corporate, LLC or assumed name filing with the Secretary of State must be up-to-date.
On all renewal forms, especially your insurance certificates, your business name must appear EXACTLY as it is filed with the Secretary of State.
Check the status of your Secretary of State filing and update it if necessary. Your license cannot be renewed if your Secretary of State filing is inactive.
If your business structure changed (eg: from a sole proprietorship to an LLC or corporation, or from a corporation to an LLC), apply for a new license for your new business entity.
