Managing Davis-Bacon Certificates

Learn how to add, renew, and find Davis-Bacon certificates in Apprentix. Stay compliant with reminders, uploads, and access to documents.

Davis-Bacon certificates prove that each apprentice is officially registered and paid according to Department of Labor (DOL) standards. Apprentix makes it easy to upload, track, and renew these certificates.


How to Find a Current Certificate

If you joined Apprentix's registered apprenticeship program, Apprentix's compliance team will issue and renew Davis-Bacon certificates on your behalf and will place them in Apprentix for you. You do not need to take any action to issue or renew Davis-Bacon certificates if you are a Fractional Sponsor client.

You can find your Davis-Bacon certificates here:

  1. In Apprentix, go to Compliance > Documents > Davis-Bacon tab

  2. Certificates are listed in descending order by expiration date

  3. Click the file link to download any certificate

  4. If you have multiple apprenticeship occupations, pay close to attention to the email notification that you received which will tell you which occupation this apprentice is in so that you can find their DB certificate.

    1. To select the correct apprenticeship, go to https://app.apprentix.io/home and click 'Manage' on the correct apprenticeship occupation.

  5. If you have an Active apprentice with an expired Davis-Bacon certificate, you're likely out of compliance on that occupation. You will need to go to that occupation in Apprentix and get it back into compliance before Davis-Bacon certificates can be renewed.

    1. Once you're back in compliance, Apprentix will automatically request a renewed Davis-Bacon certificate from the Department of Labor. The certificate is usually issued in 1 business day.

    2. Once issued, the renewed certificate will be placed in Apprentix > Compliance > Documents > All DB Certs and a system notification will be sent to all Admins notifying you that the certificate is ready for you to download.

📌 Note: If an apprentice completes or is canceled from the program, certificates cannot be renewed.


✅ With reminders, uploads, and easy access, Apprentix helps you stay compliant with Davis-Bacon documentation requirements.
