As a visionary contractor, you might’ve caught wind of “reciprocity” opening doors in other states. But what’s behind those doors? Essentially, reciprocity allows certain states to acknowledge your existing licensure, often waiving the need for another examination. However, this favor usually extends to states with licensing requisites mirroring one another.
It’s crucial to note that while reciprocity might save you from retaking certain exams, it’s not a carte blanche to start operations immediately. The state’s licensing procedures still beckon, and while a trade exam might be skipped, often a state’s business and law exam remains on the table.

Reciprocity isn’t a magic carpet ride letting you soar unrestricted across state lines. It’s not a chain-reaction where one license leads to another, then another. “Jumping” states, or using a license obtained without a direct exam to unlock further licenses, is off the table.
The golden rule? Your primary license, achieved through a comprehensive examination, paves the way for potential reciprocity elsewhere. Verification is key, spotlighting how you’ve secured your current license.
