What must a contractor do to make their license inactive?

  1. Put it into a safe deposit box

  2. Send a written request to the Registrar

  3. Send $120 to the department of Consumer Affairs

  4. Pay a fee of $72 to the CSLB

The correct answer is: Send a written request to the Registrar

To make a contractor's license inactive, the appropriate action is to send a written request to the Registrar. This formal request is essential because it provides the necessary documentation to the regulatory body overseeing contractors and ensures that the contractor's license status is updated in the official records. The process of inactivating a license is important for maintaining compliance with state regulations and for ensuring that the contractor does not engage in any contracting work while their license is inactive. This procedure protects both the contractor and the consumers who might otherwise inadvertently engage the contractor for services that they are not legally authorized to perform. Other options, such as putting the license into a safe deposit box, would not serve the purpose of officially changing the license status, nor would sending money be relevant without a corresponding request. Making the license inactive is a regulatory process that requires documentation rather than a monetary transaction or physical storage of the license itself.
