Tennessee Locksmith Licensing to begin July 1st

Tennessee locksmiths will all be required to get a license to work in the state effective July 1.

The law was passed in the 2007 legislative session, but the Tennessee General Assembly postponed the effective date for a year. The licenses will come from the Division of Regulatory Boards.

The application process for the program began last week. All applicants are required to be fingerprinted and must either pass an examination or have documented proof of five years' experience. Also, locksmiths will have to complete new basic and continuing education requirements.
