How do I obtain a license?
To apply for your license, contact the DC Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection at 202-671-4500 or visit the DLCP website to submit online.
District of Columbia does not require continuing education for Journeyman and Master Plumbers. District of Columbia has no reciprocity agreements for Master or Journeyman Plumbers.
With RocketCert, our education is written by a combination of professional educators and industry professionals. We pride ourselves on providing industry leading customer service. Also, if you find a better original price on any online course that we offer, we will beat it by 10%.
The first step is to obtain pre-approval for your exam. This can be obtained after creating an account on the District of Columbia Board of Industrial Trades website. Testing centers are setup throughout District of Columbia.
Preparing to pass the State exam is a critical part of the licensing process. Failing the exam can result in substantial delays before you are able to work under your license. We offer industry leading exam prep and all of the required books, at an unbeatable price.
After studying with RocketCert, you will be on your way to passing the required State exam(s) (see below).
After completing all the steps above, it will be time to apply through DLCP. Have questions or concerns with this process (or just a lack of time)? Learn more about how we can assist with our Application Processing Program.
