Renewal Requirements

Utah electrical licenses expire on November 30 every even-numbered year.

To renew, electricians must take 16 hours of continuing education (CE).

The Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) separates the training into two categories: core and professional.

Of the 16 hours, 12 must cover core topics which include:

  • Eight hours on the National Electrical Code (NEC)
  • Four hours on the National Fire Protection Association 70E (NFPA 70E)

The remaining four hours can be core or professional courses that cover:

  • Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)
  • Electrical motors and motor controls
  • Electrical tool usage
  • Supervision skills related to the electrical trade

For the CE to count toward your renewal, you must use an approved education provider like JADE Learning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I renew online?

Use the UtahID website to start your application. If you don't have an account, you'll need your license number, Social Security number, debit or credit card, and your Registration Code.

Once logged in, link your license to your account by following the directions shown under Existing License Holders.

Then, follow the renewal instructions. DOPL will email your new license by the next business day.

Does Utah recognize licenses from other states?

UT uses endorsement applications instead of reciprocation agreements.

If your state participates and you've held your respective license for at least one year, you can skip the state's education and exam requirements. Instead, you must submit a Verification of License form that shows your relevant work experience.

Choose your license type on this page and view the PDF that shows an up-to-date qualification map to see if your state qualifies.
