Kansas Electrical License Renewal and CE Requirements
The state of Kansas does not license electricians directly. Instead, licensing, continuing education, and renewal is handled by the individual jurisdictions at the city or county level.
(Note: Johnson County, the City of Lawrence, City of Winfield, and Miami County do NOT approve online education at this time.)
The key to following the right steps to legally maintain your Kansas electrical license is to research your local area’s procedures for license/trade certificate renewal, including the continuing education (CE) hours you need.
Here are the Kansas electrical license renewal and CE requirements for Sedgwick and Shawnee Counties.
Sedgwick County electrical license renewal and CE requirements
Sedgwick County gives its master and journeyman electricians two years between renewals.
During those two years, you need to complete
- 12 hours of continuing education.
- Six of those hours need to be trade-focused (i.e., focusing on electrical training), and
- six of the hours can be general trade education.
Fortunately for you, Sedgwick County has approved online CE for its tradesmen. That means you can get the 12 hours you need completed from the comfort of your home or office and you can take your hours whenever they fit in your schedule. You need to complete your CE hours by the expiration date on your certificate.
Then, both master and journeyman electricians need to send three things into the county:
- The completed trade certificate renewal application
- Proof of your CE hours, including your CEU log
- The $35 renewal fee
Pay attention to the expiration date on your trade certificate and make sure you get your CEs completed and this paperwork sent in before your certificate expires. That way, you won’t have any trouble maintaining your electrical license in Sedgwick County.
Electrical license renewal and CE requirements in Shawnee County and Topeka
Technically, you’re going to be working with the City of Topeka’s Development Services Division for your renewal here.
At the end of each year, you should receive your contractor license renewal forms in the mail. It’s important that you keep your current address on file with Development Services for two reasons. First, if they don’t have your address, you won’t get this form. And since the City of Topeka’s website only offers limited information about renewals, this is your best bet for keeping your license current. But secondly, if Development Services tries to send you a renewal form and it gets returned to them, they’ll charge you a $10 return mail fee.
If you’re not sure what address the city has on file for you right now, the city website currently lists two points of contact for contractor licensing so you can reach out and check:
Laurie Valdivia-Price, Office Specialist
785-368-3905, Opt. #1
lvaldivia@topeka.org
Kitty Carr, Accounting Specialist II ? Licensing
785-368-3905, Opt. #3
kcarr@topeka.org
Your City of Topeka trade license renewal is due by December 14 each year. But before master and journeymen electricians can renew, they need to complete six CE hours. And three of those hours need to focus specifically on the National Electrical Code (NEC).
The City of Topeka/Shawnee County has approved online continuing education for their electricians.
Ultimately, because electrical licensing is handled on a county or city-wide basis in Kansas, the specific regulations that apply to you depend on where you live. But it’s still your responsibility to make sure you’re keeping your license or trade certificate current, so don’t wait to do some research for yourself about your local requirements.
