Licensing for intrastate moves in California

Intrastate household goods movers in California are regulated by the Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS), California Department of Consumer Affairs. Requirement: An active CAL-T permit from BHGS, plus public liability and cargo insurance on file.

Worth knowing if you have been in the trade a while: household goods authority moved from the CPUC to BHGS on 1 July 2018 under SB-19, after more than 90 years at the CPUC. Permits are now verified through the BHGS licence search, and rates fall under Maximum Rate Tariff 4.

This is general information, not legal advice, and rules change. Check the current requirements (checked 2026-07-30) and confirm your own authority before buying leads. Interstate moves are separately regulated by the FMCSA.
