In Virginia, a convicted felon can potentially obtain a contractor's license, but it depends on the nature of the felony and other factors. The Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) evaluates applicants on a case-by-case basis. Generally, a felony conviction may disqualify an individual, particularly if it involves fraud, dishonesty, or a crime that is directly related to the contractor's work. However, felons may still qualify for a license if they meet specific requirements, such as demonstrating rehabilitation or receiving a pardon.
