Apprentice
- 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
- 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.
