What is Occupational Licensing?
California is home to over 31 million vehicles and more than 24 million licensed drivers. The sale and use of cars in California has created diverse businesses that provide many services to meet the various needs of California drivers, including:
- Schools and Training such as driving schools, traffic violator schools, and safety training.
- Vehicle Industry Services such as dealers, dismantlers, manufacturers, and transporters.
- Certifications and Agreements such as employer testing programs and ignition interlock device programs.
To protect consumers, Occupational Licensing (OL) oversees the licensing, monitoring, and regulating of these and many other motor vehicle-related businesses and professions. You can apply for, renew, or update your OL online.
