Best Answer:
Good question, here's the skinny, not all states accept licenses form other states for Plumbing. You should Start by Contacting Iowa Department of Public Health, they are most likely to issue a plumbing license. What state he got his Plumbing License in will determine if he is going to be issued an Iowa License. Here in Illinois we have one of the strictest and longest apprenticeship programs anywhere, as a result an Illinois plumber can go to about any state and become licensed for that state. If he is sponsored by a company they should have the info, if he is a contract employee, he will definitely need a bond, and insurance for his state license. Iowa Dept. of Public Health's website is sourced below. Best of luck!

Can't help on the direct answer. But when I have questions like that, I contact, usually email, my state Representative, or State Senator. They will put you in touch with the department that can answer it. Iowa House http://www3.legis.state.ia.us/ga/legislators.do?ch=h Iowa Senate http://www3.legis.state.ia.us/ga/legislators.do?ch=s
