Michigan electrical apprentice requirements.

Michigan requires active apprentice registration

Apprentices must keep registration active and continue related technical instruction while accumulating qualifying experience.

Out-of-state experience may still be reviewed

Michigan does not reciprocate licenses, but an out-of-state applicant can submit license requirements and documented experience for review toward exam eligibility.

Detroit is a special case

Michigan’s licensing page notes that the City of Detroit issues its own electrical licenses and registrations locally.

Electrical license reciprocity / portability

Michigan does not hold electrician-license reciprocity with another state. Out-of-state applicants must still qualify for and pass the Michigan examination, although verified legal experience from another jurisdiction may be reviewed for credit.
