What is the Kentucky EV 7 form?
The Kentucky EV 7 form is an Elevator License Renewal Application used by individuals seeking to renew their elevator-related licenses in Kentucky. This form is essential for contractors, elevator mechanics, and accessibility and residential elevator mechanics to maintain their licensure status.
Who needs to fill out the EV 7 form?
Individuals holding an active or inactive elevator contractor license (EVC), elevator mechanic license (EVM), or accessibility and residential elevator mechanic license (EVLM) must complete the EV 7 form to renew their licenses. This applies to those wishing to continue their work in the elevator industry in Kentucky.
What information is required on the EV 7 form?
The form requires personal information such as the applicant's name, date of birth, address, and contact details. Additionally, it asks for the license number being renewed, whether the renewal is for active or inactive status, and details about the employer. Proof of continuing education and liability insurance must also be submitted for active licenses.
What are the renewal fees associated with the EV 7 form?
Renewal fees vary depending on the type of license. For example, the fee for renewing an active Elevator Contractor License (EVC) is $240, while the inactive fee is $120. Additional fees apply for restoration and reinstatement if the license has lapsed beyond the renewal period.
What happens if I miss the renewal deadline?
If you fail to renew your license before the expiration date but within 60 days after, you must pay a restoration fee in addition to the renewal fee. If you miss this 60-day window, your license will be terminated, but you may apply for reinstatement within three years without needing to retake the exam.
What documentation must accompany the EV 7 form?
Applicants must submit a completed renewal application, a criminal background check for contractor renewal applicants, a non-refundable renewal fee, and a recent passport-sized color photo. Active contractor applicants must also provide proof of liability and worker’s compensation insurance.
Are there any continuing education requirements?

What if I am in default on student loans?
