Do you need a license to be a carpenter in Hawaii?

In short

Hawaii has no individual carpenter license, but contracting work of $1,500 or more, or any job needing a permit, requires a license from the Contractors License Board. Carpentry has two specialty classes: C-5 Cabinet, Millwork and Carpentry Remodeling, and C-6 Carpentry Framing. The A general engineering and B general building licenses cover wider work. Applicants need four years of supervisory experience within the last ten, must be 18 or older and must pass a trade exam with 75 percent. A bond, financial statement and insurance are also required, and licenses renew every two years. Apprenticeships go through the state Workforce Development Division.
