Background Check
Every inspector in the industry is required to maintain an Aspen Grove ABC background check. The cost is $90.00 and it is valid for 2 years. It can take 2-10 days to process. You will not be able to conduct any inspections until you have obtained your ABC number. The background check is run by a company called Clear Star. You will receive an email and text message from ClearStar which will let you know how to complete the background check. After complete, you will be issued an “ABC Number”.
Note that if you submit photos that do not meet the standard there will be an $8.00 reprocessing fee to resubmit.
