What to Expect on the Missouri Electrician Exam

Missouri has no statewide journeyman electrician license; journeyman licensing is handled at the local level, and the requirements vary significantly by city and county. However, the Division of Professional Registration's Office of Statewide Electrical Contractors offers an optional statewide electrical contractor license that is recognized in lieu of separate city contractor licenses (pr.mo.gov). Kansas City and St. Louis are the two major jurisdictions, each with separate licensing programs. Kansas City (Missouri side) uses ICC-based exams through the City's Development Services department. St. Louis City and St. Louis County have separate requirements. Springfield, Columbia, Jefferson City, and Independence each have their own local licensing structures. Most Missouri municipalities use exams from PSI, ICC/Pearson VUE, or local testing providers: typically 80 to 100 questions, 240 minutes (4 hours), 70% to 75% passing score, open book with NEC 2023 permitted. Before scheduling any exam, contact the building department of the specific city or county where you intend to work and confirm the current requirements. The Kansas City metro spans two states (Missouri and Kansas), so licensing requirements differ depending on which side of the state line you work on. The practice questions below are aligned to NEC 2023 and cover all topics tested across Missouri's major local electrician exams.
