Endorsement Requirement Finder
Everything one state requires from out-of-state license holders — before you commit to the move. For a two-state comparison with a verdict, use the Reciprocity Checker.
The state's requirement table appears here — exam rules, hours, background checks, fees, processing time, and official links.
Frequently asked questions
What is licensure by endorsement?
Licensure by endorsement lets a professional licensed in one state obtain a license in another state without repeating the full exam or education, by having the new state verify the existing license and its requirements.
What does the Endorsement Finder show?
Pick a profession and a target state; the finder shows that state's out-of-state transfer requirements — exam rules, education hours, background checks, fees, processing time, and the official board links — regardless of which state you come from.
How is this different from the Reciprocity Checker?
The Reciprocity Checker compares two specific states and picks your exact pathway. The Endorsement Finder looks at one destination state only, which is useful before you know where you are moving from or when comparing several target states.
