HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES.  PLEASE STAY SAFE AND ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY !!!

I am sorry to say that the DC portal for DC Elevator Mechanic License is still down.  I know that a number of people are trying to renew, as I am trying to do for several people, and you are not able to do so.  I am trying to get in touch with DCRA to find out what is going on and if there will be an extension put in place for our licenses.  A number of people are calling the Hall and asking me what WE are going to do.  There is nothing that WE can do, it is up to DCRA.  I cannot help you renew your license or get a new license if their website is unavailable.  I am trying, with everything I have available to me, to get information.  I will keep everyone updated as soon as I can talk with someone from DCRA.

***** THE DC WEBSITE IS UP AND RUNNING THIS MORNING - DON'T KNOW FOR HOW LONG, BUT IT IS WORKING AS OF RIGHT NOW, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2021****

It is that time again!  DC has done away with the 3rd party processing company that use to handle their license.  Now it is done on the DCRA website.  Normally you would get an email telling you it was time to renew.  That is not happening this year.  We have from now until November 30, 2021 to get your license renewed.  I am here, in the Hall, every day from 6:15 am to 3:30 pm if you need to come and see me for help getting these taken care of.  PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!!  You have to have an email that comes to your phone.  They will not be sending out cards to you this year.  You have to print the wallet size picture and carry in your wallet for proof of your license.  You can also pull up your license on your DC Access account after renewing.  Anyone who has passed their Mechanics exam may also come to see me for a 1st time license.

Please give me a call, before coming in, so that I can be prepared to help.  Thank you, in advance, for getting here early.
