Journeyman Electrician License in Missouri

✓Written by a licensed IBEW journeyman electrician

Last updated: October 24, 2026

We found no statewide journeyman electrician license in Missouri. The state licenses electrical contractors through the Office of Statewide Electrical Contractors. Cities certify journeymen. Springfield requires 75% or better on an ICC exam and 4 years under a master or 6 years in the trade. Check with the city where you'll work.

Reciprocity: the score must come from Prometric, Experior, Block or ICC (Pearson VUE) and be the identical exam. 4 years under the supervision of a master in the trade, or 6 years of experience in the trade.
