How do I get proof of all the hours Ive worked? I travel and worked for a lot of companies.

Do you have your 1099 forms that your employees send you? Otherwise you will need to contact them, I presume.

In Oklahoma Im pretty sure you have to have a statement signed by the
EC(s)... Any way this leaves alot of rome for lies IMO. I know of one contractor that got his new apprentice licensed after one year. Im sure if the state had reason to question hours they could go to tax records..

A wise mechanic told me in my first year to get a letter from every contractor when I left them, From day one I have a letter from every contractor except one that went out of business, he gave me a package of letter head. I did not need his time to obtain a license but did have a secretary fill out the correct time just in case.

This may take a while, but, the social security office has a list of how much you made on each w2, you could do that, and divide by wage for that contractor. If you're a vet (thank you for your service!), and had an MOS, or whatever you want to call your specialty, providing it is related to civilian electrical, see if it is available for hour count, some places it is.

When I finished my apprenticeship, I needed 8,000 hours for a j-man card. I got my 8K, and kept keeping records until I reached 10K. Good thing, too, as one city required 10K for a license.

My bad for the late response. Here in California, no proof is required when submitting an application for a Journeyman examination. In your state, if proof is actually required (which I doubt), the application should tell you exactly what documents they will accept. If they don't state it, don't supply it.
