Credentials and California requirements

Clear credentials.
Official sources.

Janitorial registration and liability insurance are different things. We'll tell you exactly what 805 carries when each item is active and link you directly to California's own guidance.

805 credential status

No vague badges. Just what we can verify.

Launch status805 is launching. We are not displaying a California janitorial registration number or claiming an active commercial liability policy on this website. We’ll update this page with the actual registration and coverage details when they are effective.

Broad credential badges can mean different things for different work. For commercial janitorial service, we’d rather show the specific registration and coverage that apply.

California Labor Commissioner

Janitorial service provider registration.

California’s Property Service Workers Protection Act requires qualifying commercial janitorial service providers to register with the Labor Commissioner’s Office and renew annually. The state’s FAQ specifically includes providers who clean commercial establishments and have no employees.

This registration is for janitorial service providers. It is separate from a California construction contractor’s license.

Insurance

Commercial liability coverage.

Liability insurance is coverage for the work performed; it is not the state janitorial registration. Once 805's commercial liability policy is active, we’ll state that here and make proof of coverage available upon request.

We will list only coverage actually in effect.

Separate rules for construction work

What about a contractor’s license?

Ordinary janitorial cleaning falls under the Labor Commissioner’s janitorial registration program. California’s Contractors State License Board administers a separate license system for qualifying construction and alteration work. We do not call janitorial registration a contractor’s license.

Want to verify it yourself?

Business credentials should be easy to understand and easy to check. These links go to California government resources:

The state’s required-documents page explains how applicants without employees address workers’ compensation in the registration application. We do not claim workers’ compensation coverage here.
