Electrical License Renewal Reminder:
IOWA ELECTRICAL LICENSE REQUIREMENTS:
Your licenses will expire December 31, 2025. Within each three-year license-cycle, licensed electricians are required to attend no fewer than 18 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) of which at least 6 CEUs must be on the most recent electrical code and the remainder on electrical code-related topics. If you have not had your license for the full 3-year term, you will need 6 CEUs for each year of the license-cycle in which you held a license, with at least 6 hours over the National Electrical Code.
To view your current continuing education credits, go to: iowaelectrical.gov Click the bottom orange tab that says “Electrical Licensing System” and log in with your email address and password. If you have not logged into this website that began April 9, 2018, you can establish your personal online license account by going to: iowaelectrical.gov and clicking the bottom orange tab that says “Electrical Licensing System”.
Nebraska Electrician Requirements:
All State electrical licenses expire December 31 of each even numbered year. Twelve hours of continuing education, with a minimum of six hours on the National Electrical Code, are required to renew any electrical license issued. These hours must be obtained within the two-year licensing period. All expired licenses held after March 31 of each odd numbered year cannot be renewed.
