State coverage

All 51 jurisdictions, one page

Each state has its own board, license types, and renewal cycle. Pick your jurisdiction below, or use the search above to go straight to it.

💡
Tip for employers and schools

If a social worker holds licenses in multiple states (common for telehealth providers), verify each state separately. ASWB exam scores transfer between states but the license itself must be obtained in each jurisdiction. Social workers can also use our Supervision Marketplace to verify LICSW supervisors for pre-licensed staff.

How verification works

Three steps, no surprises

Social work licenses are issued and verified at the state level. There is no single national database — every state runs its own system. We route directly, no middleman.

1

Select the issuing state

Choose the state where the license was obtained, not necessarily where the social worker currently practices. Telehealth providers often hold licenses in multiple states.

2

Search the state board

On the official board portal, search by name or license number. Results show status, type (LCSW, LMSW, LICSW, etc.), expiration date, and any disciplinary actions.

3

Confirm active status

Look for Active or Clear status. Note expiration date, any restrictions, and discipline history. Save the record for your file.

Growth loop

Turn verification into a verified profile.

Claim your license once. Get renewal alerts, sync CEUs, attach your resume, and apply to jobs with a verified credential signal.
