Who is the governing agency?



What are the initial requirements of the State?

There are no State laws requiring licensing of alarm businesses in New Hampshire. Some municipalities, however, do have their own licensing and/or registration requirements. Find out what is required in your community by talking with your local police and fire department.

The Electrican’s Board licenses or registers those who are performing electrical installations, as defined in RSA 319-C:2,III, for heat, light and power purposes regardless of the voltage. Therefore, it is not the voltage of the circuit that determines the requirements of licensure, it is the type of circuit. For example, no license is currently required for fire alarm installations as these are signaling circuits. Signaling circuits by definition are not considered circuits for heat, light or power purposes.

Initial licensing requirements are listed on the States website by license. Apprenticeship requirements are listed on the States website.

There is no State Level Locksmith License required.

The voluntary certification of Fire Protection Equipment Technicians was signed into law on May 24, 2004 and went into effect on January 1, 2005.
