Professional Licensure
New York State LMSW & LCSW Information
TIP: KEEP AND MAINTAIN PERSONAL RECORDS – For licensing/certification, and credentialing, or to demonstrate qualifications for employment, to present proof of experience and/or education. These documents include: CUSSW transcript, proof of hours under supervision, certificates of continuing education, etc.
Because each state has its own laws and regulations, a social work license is not transferable from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. A social worker licensed in one state seeking licensure in another state must apply to the board in each additional state.
Credentialing – “Credentialing” refers to designations given by national professional organizations, and is distinct from “licensing” and/or “certification,”which are terms that refer to legal regulation of a profession.
Visit the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB)for comprehensive information on social work regulation for all states, D.C., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands; the ASWB examination; and criteria governing who may take an examination.
