 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION

10 DAY NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:

Pursuant to 10 M.R.S §8003-G, any change in name, address, email address, criminal
convictions, disciplinary actions, or any material change set forth in your original application
for licensure must be reported to The Electricians’ Examining Board within 10 days.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING LICENSE DELIVERY:

The Electricians’ Examining Board does not print licenses. Your license will be sent to
you at the email address you provide to us on your application. The license will arrive from
email sender address: noreply@maine.gov. The attachment with this email is your license
where you may open it and print your license. If you do not locate your license in your inbox,
please check your junk/spam folders for this email. Please either save our email address
(noreply@maine.gov) in your contacts or as a safe sender to prevent your license from being
directed to your junk/spam folders.

LICENSE RENEWAL INFORMATION:

Approximately sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of your license a courtesy renewal
reminder will be sent to you by email. It is important that you maintain a current email on file,
or you risk not being able to receive the renewal reminder. You do not need to wait for a
renewal reminder to renew your license. The online renewal opens sixty days prior to the
license expiring and you may renew online. Failure to receive a courtesy renewal reminder
notice does not impact your responsibility to renew your license in a timely manner.

MAINE ELECTRICIANS’ EXAMINING BOARD LAWS AND RULES:

The Electricians’ Examining Board cannot provide you with a hard copy of laws and rules.
However, all applicable laws and rules are available online, and may be accessed via the
websites listed below. You are responsible for knowing and complying with all board laws and
rules throughout your licensure. Please note, all laws and rules may be subject to change
without notice and it is strongly advised to periodically check for updates.

APPLICATION PROCESSING TIME:
Your application has a greater chance of being processed expeditiously if it is complete and
all supporting documents are included. To ensure that The Electricians’ Examining Board
received your application please visit our website at
https://www.pfr.maine.gov/almsonline/almsquery/welcome.aspx?board=4220. After your
application has been received your name will appear when you complete a “licensee search”
on your name as you entered it on your application. The status will appear as “Pending.”
This is not an actual license approval at this point; it is simply a verification that an application
has been received and is in the queue for review. When a license is issued the status will
change from pending to active.

Please refrain from calling our office to “check” on your application as these calls only
serve to slow our ability to review and process applications.
