Moving to Georgia as a journeyman electrician: every state's rule
Georgia does not issue a statewide journeyman electrician license, so there is no reciprocity to speak of. Here is what that means in practice.
Georgia journeyman electrician
No individual license at this level
Georgia does not issue a journeyman electrician license. The Construction Industry Licensing Board's Division of Electrical Contractors licenses only electrical contractors (Class I Restricted and Class II Non-Restricted); the Board's licensing rules create master and journeyman licenses for plumbers (Rule 121-3-.02) but no journeyman category for electricians, and neither the Board's home page nor its how-to guide offers any individual electrician credential below contractor. Electricians who are not contractors work as employees under a licensed electrical contractor with no personal state license. An out-of-state journeyman license therefore has nothing to transfer to in Georgia and is neither required nor recognized for employment. The one place it helps is the road to a contractor license: the Board's examination application accepts experience 'gained working under a Licensed Electrical Contractor' including one licensed out of state (the applicant notes whether that license is equivalent to a Georgia Restricted or Non-Restricted license), so hours worked as a journeyman elsewhere count toward the 4 years (8,000 hours) needed to sit for the Georgia electrical contractor exam.
