Hello. I am a Michigan Licensed Master Electrician living in Ohio and I am looking for information about licensing for the same credential in Ohio. About all I have been able to find is information on aquiring a contractors license. Is there any one that can help me? Thank you in advance, Jeff

I am not an electrician and I live on the Pacific Coast. Nevertheless, I do not expect that I would be as helpless as you make out to be.
Obviously you have access to the internet. Try to google the terms (Ohio, electrician, license, contractor). I will be very surprised if that does not get you to the state agency that handles what you want.

Some states do not have a "master" license. Arizona does not even license electricians, contractors; yes. Some states have city licenses like Texas
"About all I have been able to find is information on aquiring a contractors license." Guess you missed that statement. I know how to search the net. I wouldn't have asked if I didn't hit a brick wall. If you are not an electrician and had nothing more to say then the obvious, then why bother?
I've come to the conclusion here with respect to Ohio. You have to be working with the IBEW to get a license Thanks
