Effective July 1, 2024 the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA) will require all NEW apprentice licenses to be submitted online by the apprentice, not the school. Your apprentice(s) are now responsible for securing and renewing their own license(s) online with the IPLA.

THIS IS THE PROCEDURE FOR GETTING A NEW APPRENTICE LICENSE

1. To apply for a new license or renew a license, go to mylicense.in.gov. Login or create login credentials to your Access Indiana, single sign-on account. In accordance with 860 IAC 2-1-4, in order to renew a license the apprentice must be enrolled in an approved four (4) year apprentice program.
2. For any NEW apprenticeship application, a completed Approved Apprenticeship Program Sponsor Certification form must be uploaded at the time of application. This form will be provided by Mechanical Skills.
3. Any positive responses require a written statement that fully explains all details including the violation, location, date, cause number and disposition. Copies of court documents for each instance to support statement must be submitted. These documents must be uploaded at the time of application or at a later time. Use the License Update option to upload.
4. Complete the online application and submit payment with a credit or debit card. The application fee is $10. The apprentice will be contacted by IPLA with details of what additional documentation is required to complete the application.

THIS IS THE PROCEDURE IF THE APPRENTICE CURRENTLY HAS AN APPRENTICE LICENSE

If your apprentice(s) has a current apprentice license it will expire October 1, 2024. The license will be available to renew July 1, 2024. If renewals are submitted after October 1, 2024, 11:59 EST, there will be a $50 late fee in addition to the standard renewal fee of $10 and online processing fee.
