“The authority wishes to inform all local contractors that the current practising licenses will expire on July 31, 2024,” Akech stated.

Contractors can renew their licenses from July 1 to July 31.
Furthermore, the authority announced that all contractors will now be required to earn 10 Continuous Professional Development (CPD) points by attending an NCA or NCA-accredited CPD seminar in order to renew their annual practising license.
This is consistent with Regulation 14 of the NCA Regulations 2014. Those who have yet to attend the seminars are encouraged to review the training calendar and register for training.
Furthermore, to encourage more contractors to renew their licenses, the NCA announced that it had waived all existing renewal penalties for contractors in default.
“The waiver of penalties on renewal of practising licenses will apply to contractors in categories NCA4, NCA5, NCA6, NCA7, and NCA8. The renewal and waiver period runs from July 1 2024 to July 31, 2024,” reads part of the notice.
How To Apply.
All contractors are advised to begin their renewal process by visiting the authority’s official website, nca.go.ke.
Once on the portal, navigate to the contractor’s tab and select the renewal of practising license option.
This will take you to the renewal page, where you will need to enter your credentials to complete the process.
Each contractor will be required to either login or register to access the NCA portal.
The NCA emphasised that all payments must be made through the eCitizen platform. The authority also warned against making payments outside of the official platform.
