Anyone licensed in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania are able to apply through reciprocity.
Anyone with an active license but not in a reciprocal state will need to submit an official license history from their current state. It will need to have pre-licensing education, testing history, and any disciplinary information. The information will need to be sent to the Education Division before submitting any licensing application.
The LREC may give partial credit for pre-licensing education and accept the national examination results if the applicant has passed an equivalent exam within the last five years. If a waiver is granted, the applicant will only need to take 30-hour pre-licensing education specific to Louisiana and the state portion of the exam.
