Question: Do I need
a license to work in Delaware if I am licensed in another
state?
Answer: Yes. The Delaware Board of Electrical
Examiners must issue you a license to work in Delaware.
Question: How do I apply
for licensure?
Answer: Please click
here to see the Licensure Requirements.
Question: Do you have
reciprocity?
Answer: Yes. An applicant who is currently licensed
in another state, where the standards for licensure are substantially
similar to Delaware, may reciprocate by submitting an
application and verification of licensure from all states
in which a license has been issued. If the applicant is from
a state not substantially similar to Delaware, he/she must
provide proof of practice for a minimum of five years after licensure in addition to the application and verification of licensure,
Question: How long does
the licensure process take?
Answer: When all required documentation has been
submitted and the application is complete, it is presented
to the Board for approval. Allow 4-8 weeks to receive
your license.
Question: How much does
it cost?
Answer: See Fee Schedule
for processing fee due with application. Check or money
order should be made payable to the "State of Delaware".
Question: Whom do I contact with questions regarding the current
electrical code used in Delaware?
Answer: The State Fire Marshall's Office adopts, with amendments, the version of the National
Electrical Code (NEC) used in Delaware (e.g. 2002). This is not available online.
Licensed Delaware Electrical Inspection agencies use the current NEC as adopted by the State Fire
Marshall's Office to perform inspections in Delaware. Contact one of these licensed electrical inspection agencies with any questions regarding the electrical code.
