Tennessee Electrical License Reciprocity:

Tennessee has reciprocity agreements with Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, West Virginia, and the NASCLA Accredited Electrical Exam.

NASCLA Accredited Electrical Exam:

Many state licensing agencies, including Tennessee, accept the NASCLA Electrical Exams. This gives you the option to just take one electrical exam instead of having to take each state's electrical exam. After passing the NASCLA electrical exam, you will only need to take the state's business and law exam and submit your application.
