Yes, the CSLB can consider your work experience obtained while incarcerated if it directly relates to the contractor classification you are applying for. The CSLB reviews all relevant experience on an individual basis. However, it's important to note that any convictions you have might affect your application, as CSLB considers all conviction information when making a licensing decision. It's recommended to provide as much information as possible about your experience and qualifications when applying to support your application.

Sorry for any confusion, but we're not able to connect you directly to a live agent. However, typically you'll need to contact the licensing board in the state where you're planning to work and possibly fulfill certain requirements, like passing examinations and submitting proofs of experience. For Arizona, you might contact the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Make sure to check their guidelines or requirements for obtaining a contractor's license.
