Contractors License Overview
- Only electrical work is licensed on the state level in Nebraska. All other contractors and subcontractors must register with the NE Dept. of Labor, but do not require a state license or an exam (licensure may still be required on the city/county level).
- Electricians must apply for a license with the NE State Electrical Division and pass the required exam before doing electrical work in the state.
