Announcement
System outage: PA Home Improvement Contractor Registration
The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) Registration system is currently down and cannot issue or renew HIC registrations. Check their website for complete information and updates.
Until service is restored, the Department of Licenses & Inspections will process Philadelphia registrations as follows:
- New PA HIC registration: Mail your application to the State and upload the acknowledgement form with your Philadelphia application.
- Existing PA HIC registration/New Philadelphia Registration: Upload a copy of your expired PA registration with your Philadelphia application.
- Existing PA HIC registration/Existing Philadelphia Registration: Submit a renewal or amendment and upload your current license with your Philadelphia application.
Registrations issued or renewed under this process will expire on December 31, 2025. Once the PA system is restored, you must update your Philadelphia registration with a valid PA certificate.
