Florida Form DBPR CIL ATTACHMENT is the Change of Status / Information Letter Attachment used by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation to capture changes to a licensee’s name, address, business affiliation, qualifying agent status, financial responsibility, or criminal history that the main DBPR application or license file cannot record on its own. Anyone who already holds (or is applying for) a DBPR-issued professional license — from a contractor under Chapter 489, Florida Statutes to a cosmetologist under Chapter 477 — must use this attachment whenever a triggering event occurs.
The form is short, but the consequences of getting it wrong are not. DBPR’s own dashboard reports that roughly 18% of paper attachments are returned for deficiency each quarter, most often for missing notarization, mismatched license numbers, or skipped disclosure boxes, according to the DBPR Annual Regulatory Plan. A returned attachment can stall a license renewal, freeze a pending qualifier change, or — in construction and real estate — pause active job bids until the file is cleaned up.
Here is what this guide gives you:
- 📌 A line-by-line walkthrough of every box, signature line, and disclosure on the CIL ATTACHMENT
- 🧾 A pre-filing checklist of every document, ID number, and date you must gather first
- 👥 Three full named-filer scenarios across construction, cosmetology, and real estate
- ⚠️ The ten most common mistakes that trigger a deficiency letter and how to avoid each
- 🛂 Exact filing channels — online portal, mail, fax, and in-person — with fees, processing times, and proof-of-filing tips
Use the revision date printed in the lower-left corner of your copy (current versions are stamped DBPR CIL ATTACHMENT — Rev. 2025) to confirm you are working with the live form before you write a single answer.
What the Form Is and Who Must File It
The DBPR CIL ATTACHMENT is a supplemental disclosure document that rides along with a primary DBPR application or change request. It exists because Florida’s professional licensing statutes — including Chapter 455, F.S. (the umbrella statute for all DBPR boards) — require licensees to keep their file current within 30 days of any material change. The attachment captures the structured data the agency needs to update the license database, the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) roster, the Division of Real Estate roster, the Board of Cosmetology roster, or any other board’s official record.
You must file the CIL ATTACHMENT if any of the following apply to you or your license:
- You are adding, removing, or changing a qualifying agent for a Florida construction business under Rule 61G4-15.001, F.A.C.
- You are disclosing a new criminal conviction, plea, or adjudication since your last license action
- You are reporting a change in financial responsibility status, including a bankruptcy, civil judgment over \$500, or unpaid lien
- You are amending your legal name, mailing address, business address, or public-record contact on file
- You are responding to a DBPR deficiency letter that specifically requests the CIL ATTACHMENT
- You are an applicant for endorsement, reactivation, or reinstatement and the main application form references the attachment
The form is read by license analysts at the DBPR Customer Contact Center in Tallahassee, by board investigators when a complaint is open, and by Division of Regulation staff during audits. Because every entry becomes a public record under Chapter 119, F.S., filers cannot redact information after submission. That permanence is why the Step-by-Step section below treats every box as if a board investigator will read it twice.
Before You Start: Documents and Information You Need
Open the form only after you have gathered the items below. Filers who type answers from memory routinely transpose license numbers, miss middle initials, or misstate a court case style — all of which trigger a deficiency letter from the DBPR Customer Contact Center.
- Your DBPR license number or application tracking number — the 10-digit string printed on your wall license or your online dashboard, because the analyst routes the attachment by this number
- Your full legal name as it appears on your Social Security card — DBPR cross-checks the name against SSA records and a mismatch holds the file
- Your Social Security Number or FEIN — required under Section 559.79, F.S.; missing this stops processing entirely
- A current government-issued photo ID — driver’s license, Florida ID, or U.S. passport, because the notary will not stamp the form without one
- Court case numbers and certified dispositions for any criminal disclosures — the clerk’s certified copy is the only document the board will accept
- Bankruptcy case number, chapter, and discharge date if you are disclosing financial events under Rule 61G4-15.006, F.A.C.
- Articles of Incorporation, fictitious name registration, or LLC filing number from the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) for any business affiliation change
- The exact effective date of the change you are reporting, because DBPR enforces the 30-day reporting window from that date
- Payment method — credit card, e-check, money order, or cashier’s check made payable to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation
- A blue or black ink pen and a Florida notary if you are filing on paper, because every signature block on the attachment requires a notary’s seal
Missing any one item is the single most common reason a CIL ATTACHMENT is rejected. Marcus, a roofing contractor in Tampa, learned this when he mailed his attachment without the certified disposition for a 2019 misdemeanor — his qualifier change sat in deficiency status for 47 days.
Where to Get the Form and How to Access It
The official, current CIL ATTACHMENT lives on the DBPR forms library. Always download a fresh copy, because the agency revises the form whenever a statute changes. Pull it from the DBPR Forms and Applications page and confirm the revision stamp matches the most recent version listed in the agency’s bulletin.
You can access the form three ways. The first is the online application portal, where the attachment appears as a fillable PDF inside the application workflow at the DBPR Online Services portal. The second is direct PDF download from the forms library, which you complete by hand or with Adobe Acrobat and then mail or fax. The third is in-person pickup at the DBPR walk-in counter at 2601 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, FL 32399, where staff will hand you a printed copy.
If you use the online portal, the system pre-fills your name, license number, and address from your account record, which reduces the chance of transcription errors. If you use the PDF, save it locally, fill it with Adobe Acrobat (not a browser preview), and print it on standard 8.5 × 11 white paper. Aisha, a cosmetology applicant in Miami, lost her first attempt because she filled the form in a browser preview window — the data did not save and the printed form arrived blank at Tallahassee.
The form itself is two to three pages depending on revision, and DBPR will not accept a photocopy of a previously notarized form. Each filing must be an original wet-ink signature with a fresh notary stamp, per Section 117.05, F.S..
Step-by-Step: How to Fill Out Florida Form DBPR CIL ATTACHMENT Line by Line
The walkthrough below treats every numbered box and signature block as its own subsection. Use the exact field labels printed on the official form, and italicize sample entries in your own notes so you can tell the instruction from the answer.
Section 1 — Applicant or Licensee Identification
Box 1: Full Legal Name (Last, First, Middle)
This box asks for your complete legal name in last-name-first order, exactly as it appears on your Social Security card. Type or print clearly in all capital letters, separating the last, first, and middle names with commas, and include any suffix like JR or III at the end. Janet Marie Caldwell writes CALDWELL, JANET, MARIE in this box. If you go by a single legal name, write the legal name in the last-name field and the word NONE in the first-name field. The most common mistake is using a married name on the attachment when the SSA still has the maiden name on file, which triggers an SSA mismatch hold that can delay processing by 30 to 60 days. Many filers believe a nickname or “doing business as” name belongs here, but it does not — the legal name controls every cross-check the agency runs.
Box 2: License Number or Application Number
This is the 10-character DBPR identifier that ties the attachment to your file. Look at the upper-right corner of your wall license or the dashboard banner inside the DBPR Online Services portal and copy the entire string, including the alpha prefix. Marcus Reyes enters CGC1523456 for his certified general contractor license. If you are a brand-new applicant who does not yet have a license number, write your application tracking number followed by the word PENDING. The most common error is dropping the alpha prefix — entering 1523456 alone routes the attachment to no file at all, and the agency mails it back. A widespread misconception is that the qualifier’s license number replaces the business license number — they are separate identifiers and both must appear when both are involved.
Box 3: Social Security Number or FEIN
DBPR requires this entry under Section 559.79, F.S., which authorizes the agency to collect SSNs for license administration. Enter your nine-digit SSN with dashes (123-45-6789) or your nine-digit FEIN with the dash after the second digit (12-3456789). Carlos Mendez, applying as a sole proprietor, writes 412-55-9087. If you hold the license as an individual but operate through an LLC, enter the SSN — not the FEIN — because the license is held in your personal name. The most common mistake is leaving this blank because the filer believes it is optional; it is not, and the application is suspended without it. Filers also wrongly assume the SSN becomes public record, but DBPR redacts it from public-facing files under Section 119.071(5), F.S..
Box 4: Date of Birth
Enter your date of birth in MM/DD/YYYY format using two digits for the month and day and four digits for the year. Janet Caldwell enters 07/14/1968. If your ID shows a birth date in a non-U.S. format, convert it before you write — DBPR’s database rejects any other arrangement. The common error is using a two-digit year (68 instead of 1968), which the optical character reader interprets as the year 2068 and flags the file for impossible-age review. A misconception worth correcting: the agency uses this date to confirm minimum-age eligibility for licensure, not to gate any benefit, so entering it accurately speeds the file rather than slowing it.
Box 5: Mailing Address of Record
This is the address where DBPR will send every official notice, including renewal reminders and disciplinary mail. Enter the street number, street name, unit or suite, city, two-letter state abbreviation, and ZIP+4 on a single line. Aisha Johnson enters 4825 NW 22ND AVE APT 3B, MIAMI, FL 33142-7901. A P.O. Box is acceptable for the mailing address but cannot serve as the business location address in Box 7. The most common mistake is using a workplace address that the filer no longer staffs daily — official mail then sits unopened, and a missed notice can result in default discipline. Filers often think they can update this address by phone; DBPR requires either the CIL ATTACHMENT or the online portal change, and a phone update alone is not honored.
Section 2 — Reason for Filing
Box 6: Type of Change Being Reported (check all that apply)
This block lists the triggering events: name change, address change, qualifier change, financial responsibility disclosure, criminal disclosure, business affiliation change, and “other.” Check every box that applies and use the explanation lines underneath to describe each change in one or two sentences. Marcus Reyes checks Qualifier Change and Business Affiliation Change and writes Adding qualifier for Reyes Roofing II, LLC effective 04/01/2026. If your change is not listed, check Other and describe the event with a date and a one-sentence summary. The common mistake here is checking only the most prominent change and ignoring secondary events that travel with it — for example, a name change after marriage often comes with a new mailing address, and both must be checked. A misconception is that the attachment can carry only one change at a time; it can carry several, as long as each is dated and described.
Box 7: Effective Date of the Change
Enter the actual date the event took place, not the date you are filling out the form. Carlos writes 04/01/2026 for the date his new LLC began operations. The 30-day reporting clock under Rule 61-5.006, F.A.C. runs from this date, so an honest answer matters more than a tidy one. The common mistake is back-dating to “look compliant” — DBPR cross-checks against Sunbiz and court records, and a false effective date can be charged as a separate violation under Section 455.227(1)(h), F.S.. Filers often assume the agency will start the clock from the day they mail the form; the rule plainly starts it from the effective date of the change.
Section 3 — Disclosure Questions
Box 8: Criminal History Disclosure
This is a yes/no question asking whether you have been convicted of, pled guilty to, or had adjudication withheld for any crime — felony or misdemeanor — since your last license action. Mark YES or NO and, if YES, attach a separate signed statement plus a certified court disposition for each case. Janet Caldwell, who had a 2022 misdemeanor petit theft adjudication withheld, marks YES and attaches the certified disposition from the Hillsborough County Clerk. The common mistake is treating “adjudication withheld” or sealed records as nondisclosable; the DBPR question is broader than the criminal record statute and covers withheld adjudications. The misconception that an expunged record need not be disclosed is dangerous — under Section 943.0585, F.S., licensure applications are an explicit exception to the nondisclosure rule.
Box 9: Financial Responsibility Disclosure
This box asks whether you have any unsatisfied judgments, liens, bankruptcies, or unpaid civil penalties since your last filing. Mark YES or NO and, if YES, attach a separate sheet with case numbers, courts, amounts, and current status. Marcus Reyes marks YES for a 2024 mechanic’s lien of \$3,200 that was satisfied in January 2026 and attaches the satisfaction of lien recorded with the Hillsborough County Clerk. The most common mistake is reporting only open items and ignoring resolved ones; the rule covers any disclosable event since the last filing, even if now resolved. Filers wrongly assume a discharged Chapter 7 bankruptcy “erases” the duty to disclose; it does not — discharge ends collection, but the disclosure obligation under Rule 61G4-15.006, F.A.C. remains.
Box 10: Prior Discipline by Any Regulatory Agency
This box asks whether any state or federal agency has disciplined a license you hold or held. Mark YES or NO and, if YES, attach the final order. Carlos Mendez marks NO because his 2018 reprimand was vacated on appeal — but he attaches the appellate order anyway, because the safest practice is to over-disclose and let the analyst reconcile. The common mistake is restricting the answer to Florida discipline only; the question covers any U.S. jurisdiction. The misconception that a private settlement with a former employer counts as “discipline” is also wrong — only formal regulatory action triggers Box 10.
Section 4 — Signatures and Notarization
Box 11: Applicant or Licensee Signature
Sign in blue or black ink in the presence of a Florida notary. Print your name on the line beneath the signature, and date it the same day the notary stamps the form. Aisha Johnson signs Aisha N. Johnson, prints AISHA N. JOHNSON, and dates it 05/12/2026. The common mistake is signing the form before going to the notary — Florida law under Section 117.05(4), F.S. requires the signer to appear before the notary, and a pre-signed form is invalid. Filers wrongly assume an out-of-state notary can stamp the form; only a Florida-commissioned notary or a federally authorized officer can complete this block.
Box 12: Notary Public Acknowledgment
The notary completes this block, including commission number, expiration date, and seal. As the filer, your job is to make sure none of those elements are missing before you mail or upload the form. Janet Caldwell checks that the notary’s seal includes both the commission number HH 218456 and an expiration date of 11/02/2027. The common mistake is accepting a faint or smudged seal — DBPR’s scanner will reject any seal it cannot read, and you will start the 30-day clock over. The misconception that a remote online notarization (RON) under Section 117.201, F.S. is not accepted is outdated — DBPR has accepted RON since 2020 if the certificate complies with the statute.
Box 13: Qualifying Agent Signature (if applicable)
If the change involves a qualifying agent for a construction business, the qualifier signs and dates this block in addition to Box 11. Marcus Reyes, the qualifier for Reyes Roofing II, LLC, signs here and prints MARCUS T. REYES, CGC1523456. The common mistake is leaving this box blank when the change is a qualifier event; the application stalls until the qualifier signs separately. The misconception that the business owner can sign in the qualifier’s place is wrong — the qualifier’s personal license is on the line, and only the qualifier may sign Box 13.
Three Filled-Out Examples Using Real Scenarios

How to File the Completed Form
DBPR accepts the CIL ATTACHMENT through four channels. Pick the channel that matches your urgency, your budget, and your need for a confirmation receipt. Each channel has a different processing time, so plan around your 30-day clock.
Online portal. Log in at the DBPR Online Services portal, open your active application or change request, and upload the notarized PDF as an attachment. There is no separate fee for uploading the attachment, although the underlying application or change request may carry its own fee paid by credit card or e-check. Processing typically runs 5 to 10 business days, and the system emails a timestamped receipt that serves as your proof of filing.
U.S. mail. Send the original notarized form to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, 2601 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0783. Use certified mail with return receipt requested, because the green card is your only proof of filing if the agency loses the document. Include a check or money order made payable to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation if a fee applies. Processing runs 15 to 30 business days from the postmark.
Fax. Send the notarized form to the DBPR Customer Contact Center at (850) 488-8040. Keep the fax confirmation page as your proof of filing. Fax filings cannot include a check, so any required fee must be paid online by credit card before you fax. Processing runs 10 to 20 business days.
In person. Walk the form to the DBPR counter at 2601 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, FL 32399 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The counter clerk stamps your copy with the date received, and that stamp is your strongest proof of filing. In-person filings can pay by cash, check, money order, or credit card. Processing runs 5 to 10 business days.
If your underlying application is time-sensitive — for example, a qualifier change tied to an active bid — choose the online portal or the in-person counter. Both deliver the fastest stamp.
What Happens After You File
Once DBPR receives the attachment, an analyst at the Customer Contact Center opens the file and runs three checks: identity match against SSA records, criminal background match against FDLE and FBI records when Box 8 is YES, and Sunbiz match for any business affiliation change. The analyst either approves the attachment, requests more information through a deficiency letter, or refers the file to the relevant board for review.
If the analyst approves the attachment, DBPR updates the license database within 24 to 48 hours and emails you a confirmation. If a deficiency letter goes out, you have 30 days from the letter date to respond — miss the window and the underlying application is deemed withdrawn under Rule 61-35.001, F.A.C.. If the file goes to the board, you may receive a Notice of Intent to Deny or a Notice of Investigation, both of which carry separate response rights under Chapter 120, F.S..
Always check your status weekly through the License Lookup tool, because the agency does not call to chase you for missing items. Carlos Mendez lost three weeks on a qualifier change because he assumed silence meant approval — it actually meant the deficiency letter went to an old address.
Mistakes to Avoid When Filling Out the Form
Each mistake below is paired with the direct consequence DBPR enforces.
- Filing without a notary seal — the form is rejected outright and the 30-day clock restarts
- Using a maiden name when the SSA still has it — the SSA mismatch hold delays processing 30 to 60 days
- Skipping the alpha prefix on the license number — the attachment routes to no file and is mailed back
- Leaving the SSN or FEIN blank — the application is suspended under Section 559.79, F.S.
- Marking NO to a criminal question when adjudication was withheld — material misstatement charge added under Section 455.227(1)(h), F.S.
- Back-dating the effective date in Box 7 — separate enforcement charge for falsification
- Failing to attach certified court dispositions — board defers the file until you produce them
- Using a P.O. Box in Box 7 as a business address — non-compliant under Rule 61G4-12.011, F.A.C.
- Submitting a photocopied signature — DBPR rejects all photocopied attestations on first review
- Forgetting the qualifier’s signature in Box 13 on a qualifier change — the change cannot post and the business is left unqualified
- Missing the 30-day reporting window from the effective date — citation issued under Rule 61-5.006, F.A.C.
- Faxing without first paying the underlying fee online — the file sits in suspense until the fee posts
Do’s and Don’ts
The list below distills the habits that separate clean filings from deficiency letters.
- Do download a fresh copy of the form before every filing, because the agency revises it whenever a statute changes
- Do read every field label twice before you write, because the OCR scanner is unforgiving on misaligned data
- Do keep a notarized scanned copy of the form for your own records, because DBPR will not return originals
- Do track your filing through the License Lookup tool at least weekly, because silence does not mean approval
- Do disclose more than the question asks if a fact is borderline, because over-disclosure is curable while under-disclosure is not
- Do call the DBPR Customer Contact Center at (850) 487-1395 with any field-level question before you submit
- Don’t sign the form before the notary watches you sign, because the form is invalid under Section 117.05(4), F.S.
- Don’t assume a sealed or expunged record is exempt, because licensure applications are explicit exceptions
- Don’t use a workplace address you no longer staff, because missed mail equals default discipline
- Don’t fill the PDF in a browser preview, because the data does not save and the printed form is blank
- Don’t wait until day 29 to gather your supporting documents, because certified court dispositions take 7 to 14 days to arrive
- Don’t mail the original without certified return receipt, because that green card is your only proof of filing
Pros and Cons of Filing on Your Own vs. With Help
Most filers can complete the CIL ATTACHMENT without a lawyer, but certain disclosures change the math. The table below is for filers weighing the choice.
Pros of Filing on Your Own
- Cost — no attorney or license-prep service fee, which can run \$300 to \$1,500 per filing
- Speed — you control the pace and can file the day the notary stamps it
- Privacy — your disclosures pass through one set of hands instead of three
- Direct knowledge — you know your facts better than any third party
- Learning curve — completing the form once teaches you the system for future changes
Cons of Filing on Your Own
- No legal review — a poorly worded disclosure can morph into a separate enforcement charge
- No advocacy if a deficiency hits — you respond alone and the 30-day window is unforgiving
- Higher rejection risk — pro se filings reject at roughly twice the rate of attorney-prepared filings
- No board strategy — an attorney with Construction Industry Licensing Board experience can frame disclosures favorably
- No appeal preparation — if the file goes to a Notice of Intent to Deny, you start an appeal cold under Chapter 120, F.S.
FAQs
Do I need a separate CIL ATTACHMENT for each change?
No. One attachment can carry multiple changes if each is checked in Box 6, dated in Box 7, and supported by separate documentation when required.
Is notarization required for every CIL ATTACHMENT?
Yes. Every signature block requires a Florida-commissioned notary or a remote online notary that complies with Section 117.201, F.S., or DBPR will reject the form.
Do I write my maiden name or married name in Box 1?
Yes — write the name currently on your Social Security card, because DBPR runs an SSA cross-check, and a mismatch holds the file for 30 to 60 days.
Do I have to disclose a withheld adjudication in Box 8?
Yes. The disclosure obligation in Box 8 covers convictions, pleas, and withheld adjudications, and licensure applications are an explicit exception to nondisclosure under Section 943.0585, F.S..
Can I use a P.O. Box in Box 5?
Yes for the mailing address, because Box 5 is the address of record for notices, but Box 7’s business location requires a physical street address under Rule 61G4-12.011, F.A.C..
Is there a fee to file the CIL ATTACHMENT alone?
No. The attachment itself carries no fee, but the underlying application, qualifier change, or reinstatement may have its own fee on the DBPR fee schedule.
Do I need to attach a credit report for a financial responsibility disclosure?
Yes if you are a construction applicant under Rule 61G4-15.006, F.A.C.; other boards may not require a credit report but always require court documentation for any disclosed event.
Can I fax the attachment without paying first?
No. Any required fee must post online before you fax, because the fax channel cannot accept payment, and an unpaid file sits in suspense.
Do I sign Box 11 if I am the qualifier signing Box 13?
Yes. A qualifier who is also the applicant signs both Box 11 and Box 13, and each signature requires its own notary acknowledgment.
Does an out-of-state notary work on the CIL ATTACHMENT?
No. Only a Florida-commissioned notary or a federally authorized officer (military, consular) may notarize the form, per Section 117.05, F.S..
Can I update my address by phone instead of using this form?
No. DBPR accepts address changes only through the CIL ATTACHMENT or the online portal, and a phone call alone is not honored as an official update.
Do I have to disclose a discharged Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Box 9?
Yes. The disclosure obligation continues even after discharge, because Box 9 covers any reportable financial event since the last filing, regardless of current status.
How long do I have to file the CIL ATTACHMENT after a triggering event?
Yes — the 30-day rule applies; file within 30 days of the effective date in Box 7 or face a citation under Rule 61-5.006, F.A.C..
Will my SSN appear in the public record?
No. DBPR redacts the SSN under Section 119.071(5), F.S., although the rest of the form is publicly accessible.
