A social work license is required in all U.S. states to practice social work, although jurisdictions vary in the categories of practice they license.
Social work licensing protects the public by setting and enforcing standards for the practice of social work. To practice as a licensed social worker, candidates need to demonstrate that they have met the qualifications outlined by the state or province where they intend to practice.

This informative session focused on what's and how's of social work professional licensing. The focus will mainly be for the three local jurisdictions but there will be general information for obtaining your license in other states/jurisdictions.
A Board representative from DC, MD, and VA answered your questions about general licenses, clinical licenses, as well as macro options.
