How to use this route
- Choose Georgia Class I restricted or Class II unrestricted.
- Document four years of qualifying electrical experience and obtain the required references.
- Apply through GOALS and receive Board examination approval.
- Pass the applicable PSI examination and wait for Georgia license issuance.
Conditions and limitations
Georgia no longer offers electrical-license reciprocity, effective May 2026. A North Carolina licensee must apply through Georgia’s regular Class I or Class II examination route.
