## Licensing \u2014 read this before you accept<\/p>\n
Iowa licenses electricians statewide, and **Iowa has no temporary or provisional journeyman permit.** Until your Iowa Journeyman Class A card actually issues, working unsupervised at journeyman level is not legal in Iowa. The legal way to be on site while your application is processing is Iowa’s **Unclassified Person license ($20\/year)**, working under supervision.<\/p>\n
Plan your start date around that. Do not assume your out-of-state card lets you start solo on day one.<\/p>\n
### Iowa accepts a reciprocal journeyman license from these 13 states<\/p>\n
Alaska \u00b7 Arkansas \u00b7 Colorado \u00b7 Minnesota \u00b7 Montana \u00b7 Nebraska \u00b7 New Hampshire \u00b7 North Dakota \u00b7 Oklahoma \u00b7 South Dakota \u00b7 Texas \u00b7 Wisconsin \u00b7 Wyoming<\/p>\n
### What reciprocity actually requires<\/p>\n
It is a paper application with no Iowa exam, but it is not automatic. Under Iowa Code 103.21 and Iowa Administrative Code 481-401.2(14)-(15), you must:<\/p>\n
– Have **passed your own state’s state-sponsored exam at 70% or better**
\n– Have **held that license continuously for at least one year**, never expired, suspended or revoked
\n– Have **never taken and failed the Iowa exam**
\n– Show **either completion of an approved apprenticeship OR 16,000 hours of licensed electrical work**, by sworn affidavit
\n– Register with the State of Iowa and pay the Iowa license fee<\/p>\n
**Note the “either\/or” on hours** \u2014 if you completed a registered apprenticeship, you do not need to document 16,000 hours separately.<\/p>\n
