Reciprocity
The State of Utah, will reciprocate only specific, active contractor
license classifications from the following states:
-
Arizona
-
California
-
Louisiana
-
Nevada
-
South Carolina
NOTE: You cannot reciprocate a license from
a state where you have not tested. Candidates
from Arizona, California, Louisiana, Nevada, and South Carolina must have
held their license the number of years equivalent to the Utah
experience requirement for the license classification(s) for
which they are applying. Please
note that Arizona has three levels of licensure: commercial,
residential and dual.
Contractor must have an active electrical and or plumbing contractor
license(s) classification(s) for an underlying trade license
before they can be awarded a Utah State Contractor License.
Additionally, Utah license classifications that do not have
a corresponding license category with another state are not
reciprocated.
Trade tests may be waived. However, in some cases prospective
licensees will need to test. This is especially true when the
applicant comes to Utah from a state listed above and they didn't
test in that state, but reciprocated to that state from yet
another state. Please take note of the verification of licensure
reference to testing or reciprocity.When in doubt, contact the Board
or Contractor School Online @ www.contractorschoolonline.com or
call Toll Free
@ 800-966-9596.
There are other states that do license contractors, BUT Utah does
not have a reciprocal agreement with them. Candidates can get
verifications of licensure from those states to help prove their
experience as a licensed contractor or contact Board or Contractor
School Online and they may be able to assist you with information
you’re inquiring about. Candidates will have to be reviewed,
for experience only, on a case-by-case basis in several states.
QUALIFICATIONS FOR LICENSURE

requirements. In the past 10 years, a minimum of four
