Notes for Carpentry Licence Class applicants

Introduction

These notes will help you work through the forms for your Carpentry licence class application. Please read through them through carefully before you start filling in the relevant forms.

Your total application is made up of these completed licence class forms, plus:

  • the application form
  • any documents and supporting evidence that the forms ask for and
  • the total fees for your application.

Note: This is the application pack for the Carpentry licence class only. If you wish to apply for Carpentry and Site 1 combined, or any other licence class, go to the Department's website at www.dbh.govt.nz/occupational-licensing or phone the Licensed Building Practitioner Helpline on 0800 60 60 50 for advice.

There are four parts to your Carpentry licence class application:

  1. Work history
  2. Project records and Project records questionnaire *
  3. Referee contact details
  4. Supporting evidence

* Note: You should only fill out the questionnaire if you do not have a relevant qualification or cannot provide a copy of it. There is more information about this in the Project records questionnaire section of these notes.

Each part must be completed before you send your application back.
