I'm from Indiana, and I'll tell you there is no state-wide licensing for Electricians and or Contractors (much to some of our dismay). Lots of local city licenses around the state, and Indianapolis/Marion County does require the Contractor to hold a Master's License, and the Master's test is from a nationally rcognized electrician testing organization (Block). Some local gov's recognise the license, and some don't.
The union (IBEW) does have their own method of recognizing Apprentice, Journeyman, and Foreman levels, and those could be considered state-wide, but Indy/Marion County only recognizes the License they issue.
The requirements for the test are 5 years verifiable experience or recognized apprenticeship time, $100 fee to take the test, proof of liability insurance, and a $20K surety bond forthe city/county.
The test was about 8 hrs long, and was 2/3 Code and 1/3 math. I have heard that it had been updated recently and was decidedly harder than when I took it.
So depending on where you might settle in Indiana, you might not need a license at all, or you might need the Indy Master's License.
