Licensing requirements vary quite dramatically by state. This page will provide
you links to each State Licensing Board, along with contact information; and,
as we develop it, a brief summary of salient points for licensing in that
state. If any states have developed a web site, and we've missed it, please
let us know via e-mail: Also, if you
find any out of date information, we would very much appreciate your informing
us. We will do our best to be accurate, but cannot guarantee that. Please
refer to each State Board for the latest information.
