Licensing
Do you need a license in Kentucky?
Mold remediation licensing is taken seriously in several states; Florida, Texas, and Louisiana, for example, require specific mold licenses to perform this work. Kentucky's requirements may differ and can change, so it is essential to verify whether a state or local mold license, registration, or certification is currently required before performing mold remediation in Kentucky. Do not rely on assumptions; confirm with the appropriate Kentucky authorities.
A NISCR Certificate of Completion confirms completion of NISCR training and examination. It is a professional credential, not a government license. Where local law requires a license to perform a service, the technician is responsible for obtaining it.
