What is required to maintain a C-60 license in California?

• A. Only renew every 10 years.
• B. Renew the license when due, maintain compliance with laws and requirements (bond, insurance, and fees); ensure business practice compliance.
• C. No renewal needed if you have a small business.
• D. To maintain, you only need to file annual reports.

Answer: (B)

Maintaining a C-60 welding contractor license is about staying current with renewal and keeping all licensing obligations active. The best answer reflects both parts: renew the license when it’s due and keep you in compliance with all requirements—bond, insurance, and fees—and run the business in a lawful, proper manner. In California, contractor licenses are kept active by timely renewal every two years and by maintaining the required bond and insurance, paying the necessary fees, and following state rules and business practices.

The other ideas don’t fit because a license isn’t a one-time or infrequent thing that can be ignored or reduced to filing annual reports or simply having a small business. Renewal matters, and it must be paired with ongoing compliance to keep the license in good standing.
