"Do I have to have a license to do electrical work?Yes, you will need a license to perform most electrical work. Some states, like Indiana, do not have state licensing. However, in these states, the local municipalities usually handle licensing.
Some states offer reciprocity, an agreement with other states that their electrical professionals can work between the two areas with less or no additional paperwork. Not every state provides reciprocity, so check with both states you plan to work in." huckleberry.com
