Journeyman License Renewal

Apprentice licenses are valid for one year. If the license is renewed before it expires, a notarized letter is not required.
If your license expires, you will need to re-apply. See how to apply for specific instructions.

Journeyman licenses are valid for 36 months from the date of issuance.
Expired licenses will not be renewed. A new license will be issued only after the applicant successfully completes the initial test required of all candidates for new journeyman licenses.
Renewal examinations consist of three separate "open book" examinations (i.e., Plumber/Gas Fitter, Mechanical, or Gas Fitter). The minimum passing grade is 70%. Failure to pass any renewal examination will require the candidate to retake and pass the initial journeyman test.
The renewal information letter and exams will be mailed to the licensee's most current address on file approximately one month prior to the expiration date.
Ensure your address is up to date. It is your responsibility to ensure you renew prior to expiration. There are no exceptions or grace periods.
The renewal fee for individual licenses and combination licenses is per the fee schedule. Prior to the license being issued, the fee must be received. This fee is non-refundable.
