The correct answer is: Never

A contractor's license in Virginia is considered to be a personal credential held by the individual or business entity that has met specific requirements to earn it. As such, the license is non-transferable, which means a contractor cannot transfer their license to another person or entity at any time. This regulation ensures that the responsibilities and qualifications associated with the license remain with the individual or company that has demonstrated their capabilities, received the necessary training, and passed any required examinations. The concept of a non-transferable license helps maintain the integrity and standards of the contracting profession. It ensures that clients can rely on the license holder's qualifications and adherence to ethical practices when conducting business. Each license is linked to the specific skills, experience, and financial stability of the holder, which is why the regulations prevent any transfers.
