Arizona Plumber license reciprocity
Arizona offers reciprocity for the Plumber license. Trade exam waived if qualifying party in same/comparable classification within past 5 yrs; SRE not waivable
What reciprocity actually gets you
Reciprocity is not a licence transfer. Where Arizona grants it, the effect is usually that AZ ROC — C-77 (commercial) / R-37 (residential) / CR-77 (dual) waives part of the examination for someone already licensed and in good standing elsewhere. You still submit a Arizona application, and the state's other conditions still apply.
