Reciprocal General Contractor Licensing in Nebraska

The State of Nebraska does not hold reciprocal licensing agreements with other state for General Contractors.  This is because Nebraska requires contractor registration rather than licensing.

Out-of-state contractors who want to work in Nebraska must complete the online registration process with the NE Department of Labor.  Registration is required for any contractor making more than $5,000 performing work on construction projects within the state.

*If the contractor makes less than $5,000 per year performing construction, registration is not required. 

As part of the online registration process, contractors are required to:

  • Provide basic information about their business
  • Provide tax identification numbers
  • Provide proof of worker’s compensation insurance
  • Pay the registration fee
  • Submit the online application to the Department of Labor
