Plumbing license reciprocity by state · Pair verdict

Transfer a plumbing license from Arkansas to Arizona

Your Arkansas license, Arizona's rules. This page computes the pair the boards leave you to guess at — the full checker adds your license status and level.

A different door

No endorsement — experience credit toward the contractor route

No named reciprocity states were confirmed on a primary ROC page in this pass. Secondary sources claim a trade-exam waiver for licensees of California, Nevada, and Utah held five years, with plumbing often excluded — not verified against the ROC, so accepts is empty and the route is recorded as review.

Arizona's journeyman gate, for the exam route: not published hours. One rule outranks the pair: a lapsed Arkansas license endorses nowhere — reinstate at home first.

Rules as published by Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC), checked October 22, 2026. Confirm with the board before you apply.
