Notes
Virginia does not require a statewide individual ironworker license. The Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) licenses many construction trades but does not issue individual ironworker licenses. Workers typically train through union apprenticeship programs. Verify at dpor.virginia.gov.
