What is required to complete the Kentucky Elevator Mechanic License application?
To complete the application, you must fill out all sections on both sides of the form. This includes providing your personal information, current employer details, and a history of your elevator experience. Additionally, you need to attach a recent passport-sized color photograph and submit documentation verifying your experience. Acceptable documents include official tax records, copies of business licenses, or sworn affidavits. The application fee must be paid to the Kentucky State Treasurer. Without the fee, your application will not be processed.
How is the application fee structured for the Elevator Mechanic License?
The application fee for the Elevator Mechanic License varies based on your birth month and the month you are applying. For example, if you were born in January and apply in July, the fee would be $144. The fees are prorated for the initial activation, which can range from 7 to 18 months. After your initial license period, renewals will be valid for one year and will be due in your birth month.
What happens if I have defaulted on a student loan?
If you are in default on any student loans backed by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA), you will not be eligible to receive a Kentucky Elevator Mechanic License at this time. You must resolve any defaults before applying for the license.
Can I submit my application online or pay with a credit card?
While you can complete the application form online, you must mail your application and payment in the form of a check made out to the Kentucky State Treasurer. Credit card payments are available for online applications, but not for mailed applications. Be sure to check the official website for further details regarding online submission options.
What documentation is necessary to verify my elevator experience?
You will need to provide documentation that verifies your elevator work experience. This can include official tax documents, copies of business licenses, or a sworn affidavit attesting to your experience. If you have completed a nationally recognized training program or apprenticeship, you should include a copy of that certificate as well. For a complete list of acceptable documentation, visit the Kentucky Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction website.
