Alaska Admin. Code tit. 8, § 90.112 – Provisional certificate of fitness

(a) An applicant seeking a certificate under 8 AAC 90.111 and this section must hold a current certificate or license in another jurisdiction and must have held that license for a full year before the application date. The department may require the applicant to provide additional information to clarify the requirements of the jurisdiction where the current license is held.
(b) The department will issue a provisional certificate to the holder of a current electrical or plumbing journeyman certificate or license from another jurisdiction.
(c) An applicant who currently holds a substantially similar certificate or license to the state's electrical journeyman or plumbing journeyman certificate of fitness shall submit an application on a form provided by the department and a
1. (1) $50 application fee;
2. (2) $100 certificate fee, prorated as described in AS 18.62.030(a); and
3. (3) copy of the applicant's current license from another jurisdiction.
(d) A provisional certificate issued under this section expires on the earlier of the following dates:
1. (1) one year from the date the provisional certificate was issued; or
2. (2) the date the current certificate or license from another jurisdiction expires.
(e) When performing work under a provisional certificate issued under this section, the certificate holder shall
1. (1) carry both the provisional certificate and the current certificate or license from another jurisdiction; and
2. (2) perform work to the appropriate code in the state.
(f) The department may immediately cancel a provisional certificate if an applicant's
1. (1) application is incomplete or contains a false statement;
2. (2) credentials or accompanying documents are insufficient; or
3. (3) current certificate or license was not issued by another jurisdiction with substantially similar requirements to the state.
(g) A plumber journeyman provisional certificate holder may not perform gas work.
(h) The department will process a provisional certificate application as a reciprocal application under 8 AAC 90.111 and this section. If the department determines that an applicant's current certificate or license was issued by another jurisdiction that does not have substantially similar requirements to the state, the department will contact the applicant to request proof of hours. The applicant must take an examination before the department will issue a journeyman certificate to the applicant.
