Florida Journeyman Electrician License (2026)
Florida has no state journeyman electrician license. The state licensing department (DBPR) says it doesn't license journeymen: journeyman cards are handled by your local county or city building office. What the state does license is the Electrical Contractor, with a two-part Pearson VUE exam.

Journeyman in Florida: where to start
Ask the building department of the county (or city) where you work which exam it accepts and how many hours of experience it requires. Rules differ locally, so get them in writing from the office that issues the card. The technical content — the NEC — is the same, so our free practice test and calculations guide apply.
Thinking about the contractor license?
The state Electrical Contractor exam is longer and stricter than most journeyman exams: 150 scored questions over two sessions, and 75% to pass instead of the 70% common elsewhere. Its technical part uses NEC 2023 until August 21, 2027.
