• Construction services providers who have an active Workers’ Compensation Exemption Registration that expires within 60 days.
• Both initial and subsequent registrations can be renewed here although the initial registration must be renewed first.
• The renewal must be associated with the same business entity as your existing exemption registration; if not, you need to submit a new exemption registration application form.

How You Can File Here

• E-File an Exemption Renewal (credit card required) and pay fees (includes convenience fee) online.
