Find a qualifying individual (rmo / rme) in California

How licensing works in California

State contractor license qualified by an individual. California licenses are qualified by a Responsible Managing Officer, Member, Manager or Employee. The CSLB is one of the most active regulators in the country, and the qualifier must exercise direct supervision and control.

The term California uses for the individual who qualifies a company is qualifying individual (rmo / rme). Whatever the label, the duty is the same everywhere: the qualifier must actually supervise and have authority over the work and the business affairs the license covers. A license that is merely lent to a company is not a qualifier arrangement and exposes both parties to discipline.
