Important Notes

• The deadline to complete the required code update course for the current cycle is March 11, 2025.
• Licenses for Master and Journeyman Electricians expire annually on December 31st.
• A 60-day grace period allows for renewal without interruption until March 1st, but a late fee may apply.

• All CE courses must be approved by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA).
• License renewal must be completed online through the state’s online portal – https://aca-prod.accela.com/LARA/Default.aspx.
