Florida → New York electrician license reciprocity
Moving an electrician or contractor license from Florida to New York is rarely automatic. Expect home-board verification, destination applications, and often an exam or endorsement review unless a formal reciprocity agreement applies.

Reality check
- Florida → New York is not a one-form card swap in most cases
- Formal reciprocity agreements exist for some contractor boards and class pairs — confirm on both boards
- When there is no agreement, plan for experience documentation and the destination exam path
What to gather
- Active Florida license verification (class, exam basis, status, discipline)
- Hour / experience evidence the destination board accepts
- Identity documents that match both board files exactly
Timeline tip
- Start verification while the home license is still active
- Budget weeks for board review before exam scheduling
