I'm currently a Journeyman electrician in the state of Kansas but we might possibly be moving to the San Francisco area in a few months. I was wanting to know if California would recognize my Kansas license or would I have to take the test again once I moved? Any information would be great!

I think you will have show proof of experience and take the test. You should be able to go to the State Contractors Board web site and get information.

Does Kansas have a state licensing program, or is your Journeyman license at the local level?

You will have to become a California State Certified Electrician when you come out here. Check out the link to find out how. Good luck!!

Here's a direct link to the application. You have to check the box that says "(3) Other State License (attach copy of License).

CA State Certification and C-10 contractors license
CA State Certification and C-10 contractors license
When I called to schedule the exam for the California State Electrician Certification, it took $150, and I was able to schedule it the next day. I took the test in 2006, passed, and they immediately gave me a temporary number to use.
The C-10 test took me 10 months (from the time I sent the forms in to the time I was issued a license number). But that was in 2002 and I read that it's much quicker now, but I bet it's still 6 months.
Their both just as hard as the other, in my opinion. Only the C-10 has a law section too. Take both if you have at least 4 years in the trade.
I was amazed that holding a C-10 didn't allow me to be employed, I was required to get the Certification also.
oh well.
