How To Become an Electrical Contractor in Missouri: License Requirements and Trade Schools

Unlike for general contractors or plumbers, Missouri does offer state licensure and regulation for electrical contractors. Missouri has unique rules for electrical licensing — you can be registered on the state-level or your local city- or county-level, depending on the scope of practice you’d like to have. Below, you can find details about how you obtain your Missouri state electrical license, as well as an electrical license from the cities of Kansas City and St. Louis.

Missouri Electrical License Reciprocity

Because of the optional nature of state licensure, Missouri offers state license reciprocity to any individual licensed in Missouri in a city or county with similar testing or education requirements. For those licensed outside of Missouri, you can reach out to the Office of Statewide Electrical Contractors to see if your state’s licensing standards are transferable.
