Reinstating long-expired electrician licenses costs $200
Beginning November 1, 2026, if your license has been expired more than one year, you cannot renew it. You must apply to reinstate, pay the standard renewal fee plus a $200 reinstatement penalty, and submit proof of CE done in the last 12 months. If you already met renewal CE within the past 36 months, no extra CE is required. If expired more than 36 months, you must complete 12 CE hours for each full 36‑month period, up to 24 hours total. You must also provide a sworn affidavit or Board‑approved verification that you have no final discipline blocking licensure and no crime directly bearing on fitness to practice.
Continuing education rules for electricians
Beginning November 1, 2026, journeyman and contractor licenses do not renew unless you complete the required continuing education set by the Committee of Electrical Examiners and approved by the Construction Industries Board. You are exempt from continuing education for three years from the date you passed your current licensing exam. If your license was reinstated by taking CE instead of retesting, your first on‑time renewal must include the required CE completed within 36 months from the date of your last verified CE used for reinstatement.
New license renewal timing for electricians
Beginning November 1, 2026, every electrical license lasts one year and expires on the last day of your birth month. You can renew by applying and paying fees within 30 days before or after the due date. If you renew more than 30 days late, you must pay all fees, any late penalty set by the Board, and meet continuing education rules. No late penalty applies if your license expired while you were in military service and you renew within one year after discharge.
One-year apprentice and student registrations
Beginning November 1, 2026, apprentice registration certificates last one year. You may reregister by meeting Board rules and paying the renewal fee. Student apprentice certificates run for your school year and expire on the last day of that year. You may reregister by meeting Board rules and paying the fee.
