  • License Information

  • Why are you asking for my electrical license information?

    Providing electrical license information is optional. However, the Examining Board considers an applicant’s licensing status as part of its overall review, and holding a current electrical license may be viewed favorably when the Board makes its decision.

    The Examining Board may verify any license information you provide through the applicable state licensing databases. Please provide only complete, current, and accurate information.
