Question

If I'm a master plumber in another state, will Florida accept that license? Will I need to test for it again?

Community Answer

Not really. The state of Florida will, under rare circumstances, grant an endorsement depending on which state your license has been obtained from, if you meet their requirements.You will still need to take a test to show you understand how things work in Florida.
