Licensed by: No statewide license

Electricians in Missouri

Licensed by: Office of Statewide Electrical Contractors, Missouri Division of Professional Registration

The Office of Statewide Electrical Contractors issues a statewide electrical contractor license, but it is optional, not mandatory; many cities and counties license electrical contractors themselves and still issue permits and inspect work. Cities and counties must accept the statewide license in place of a local license. You can check a statewide license on the Division of Professional Registration license search, and ask your local building department about local licenses.
