SECURITY FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS
MASTER ELECTRICIAN WAIVER

Master Electricians who are licensed by a municipality prior to July 15, 1993^* and who engage in the business of installing, servicing or maintaining security or fire alarm systems may qualify for either of two waivers:

1) Registration: Master electricians licensed by and providing services only within their local jurisdiction(s) may apply for a registration. All state licensing qualifications are waived for this registration. Registrations are valid for two-year periods.

If you apply based on this method, you must submit:

• A completed application
• A nonrefundable fee of $50 payable to the Department of State
• List the jurisdiction(s) where you are licensed as a master electrician (please refer to and complete Attachment C)

2) State License: Master electricians who wish to practice outside their licensing jurisdiction(s) must obtain a New York State Business of Installing, Servicing, or Maintaining Security or Fire Alarm Systems license. Applicants are waived from the education, experience and examination requirements.

If you apply based on this method, you must submit:

• A completed application
