Can an applicant begin working after submitting an application to DOPL?

Yes
No
Only until $10,000 projects
Only until $50,000 projects

The correct answer is: No

Once an applicant submits an application to the Department of Professional and Occupational Licensing (DOPL) in Utah, they are not authorized to begin working as a contractor until they have received the proper licensure. DOPL’s licensing process is designed to ensure that all contractors meet the required standards of knowledge, experience, and ethics necessary to perform work safely and legally. This waiting period is essential because it protects consumers and ensures that only qualified individuals can undertake construction projects, which can often involve significant financial and safety considerations. Therefore, without official licensure, an applicant must refrain from commencing any work in their capacity as a contractor. This helps maintain industry standards and promotes accountability within the contracting profession.
