Applicants seeking licensure or certification in regulated professions must meet certain entry qualifications. DPOR and its regulatory boards establish entry requirements based on a combination of education, examination, and/or experience. In some cases, holding a valid license in another state will satisfy some requirements to obtain licensure/certification by reciprocity, endorsement, or comity.  

To learn about the specific requirements to enter a particular regulated profession, review the regulations and application forms for that license type.
