RRPM Licenses and UCCO Certificate
There are three RRPM licenses and one UCCO certificate. The descriptions are listed below the table. Please note:
If you are a sole proprietor
, you need both the Lead-Safe RRPM Supervisor and the RRPM Firm licenses.
If you are a company with multiple employees
, the company only needs one Lead-Safe RRPM Firm license, but each worksite must have a licensed onsite Lead-Safe RRPM supervisor. The onsite supervisor can train other workers to perform RRPM work. However, the supervisor must remain on the job site at all times to supervise the work.
Before you apply
Before applying for a Lead-Safe RRPM Supervisor or Landlord license or a UCCO certificate, make sure you have the proper training.
If this is your
first time applying for a license

.
If your
license is about to expire
, make sure your training is up to date by following these steps:
Sign in to the
ALRP Licensing and Permitting Portal

Check the dates on both your RRP(M) and IRC Practices training certificates to make sure they are not expired.
If they are
not expired
, you may apply for an RRPM license or UCCO certificate.
If your RRP(M) training certificate is
about to expire
:
Take the
RRP(M) refresher course
.
You must take the refresher training course
before your certificate expires
. If it expires, you’ll need to
retake the full 8-hour initial RRP(M) training course
.

Take an
online or in-person IRC Practices training course
