Steps
New Jersey: apply through the Division of Consumer Affairs' Elevator, Escalator, and Moving Walkway Mechanics Licensing Board; qualify via either 3 years of industry experience plus passing NAEC CET or NEIEP certification, or 6,000 hours of unsupervised NJ work experience within the last 5 years.
New Jersey: maintain licensure with 8 continuing-education credit hours per renewal cycle, all related to elevator/escalator/moving-walkway work.
Illinois: apply through the Office of the State Fire Marshal; qualify with 3 years of documented elevator industry experience and a passing score (70%) on the written exam covering ASME A17.1 with Illinois amendments, 225 ILCS 312, and NEC Article 620.
Illinois: note that Chicago maintains its own separate municipal mechanic licensing requirement in addition to the state license — verify both if the work is inside Chicago.
Confirm current exam/application fees and forms directly with the respective state agency, since these were not independently priced this session.
Known gotchas
In Illinois, holding the state elevator mechanic license does not automatically satisfy Chicago's separate municipal licensing requirement.
New Jersey's two licensure pathways (exam-certification-based vs. hours-based) require different supporting documentation — confirm which pathway applies before filing.
