How to Submit a Reciprocity Request

Learn how Fractional Sponsor clients can submit a reciprocity request to work outside Texas. Includes steps, requirements, and state notes.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Only Fractional Sponsor clients can submit a reciprocity request. This allows you to perform work in a state outside of Texas while keeping your apprentices registered under Apprentix.

⚠️ Important: Apprentix will not process reciprocity requests for California or New York, as we choose not to do business there due to their regulations.


How to Submit a Request

    1. You must submit one entry per state

    2. You can include multiple projects, multiple project locations, and multiple occupations all within the single form entry provided the information is all for one state.

  1. Include the following information in form:

    • Company name

    • State where reciprocity is being requested

    • Project location (address or county + state)

    • Estimated project start date

    • Apprenticeship occupations needed (e.g., Laborer, Operator, Electrician, Pipefitter, Surveyor, Wind Turbine Technician)

👉 Note: You cannot request reciprocity for an occupation your company is not already registered for under Apprentix.


What Happens After You Submit

  • Same-Day Submission: Apprentix files your reciprocity paperwork the same day we receive your request with complete information.

  • State Variability:

    • About half of U.S. states use a similar process

    • The other half have different forms, laws, or approval councils

  • Additional Information: We’ll contact you if the state agency requests more details.

  • Compliance Reminder: By requesting reciprocity, you’re agreeing to follow that state’s wage, hour, ratio, and licensing requirements.


Quick Recap

  • Reciprocity is available only to Fractional Sponsor clients

  • Requests are not available in CA or NY

  • Cost: $1,000 per state (see pricing article for details)

  • Apprentix initiates the request same day, but final approval timelines depend on the state
