This comprehensive resource is designed to provide accurate information for LMFTs interested in learning more about license portability. License portability, a term referring to the ability to transfer qualifications for licensure from one state to another, is a complex process due to the varying licensing laws across the nation. The Chart’s primary aim is to demystify these requirements for a California LMFT seeking licensure in a different state.  \nThe chart below provides the name of the state’s licensing board, their contact information, the state laws and ethical rules, a link to the state’application and related resources, and an overview of the licensure portability requirements for a California licensed marriage and family therapist.  \nThose interested in learning more should also view the companion California Clinical Exam Equivalency Chart.  \nThis information was updated in May 2025. CAMFT strongly emphasizes the importance of LMFTs independently verifying the information and/or consulting with independent legal counsel. As states’ laws and regulations are subject to continual change, CAMFT cannot guarantee the completeness, currency, or accuracy of the information contained herein. Please get in touch with the licensing board directly for more details about their licensure process.  \nCAMFT does not provide feedback about the licensure requirements of other states and will be unable to assist further with an out-of-state application. Contact information, laws, applications, and additional resources for each state’s MFT licensing board are provided in case the LMFT needs further assistance.  \n\n| State | Licensing Board Information | Board Contact Information | State Legal and Ethical Rules | Link to Application and\u003Cbr>Resources\u003Cbr>Related to Licensure | License Portability: Requirements for State Licensure with a California License |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Alabama | Alabama Board\u003Cbr>of Examiners in\u003Cbr>Marriage and\u003Cbr>Family Therapy | Address: 2777 Zelda Road, Montgomery, AL 36106\u003Cbr>Phone: 334-395-7455\u003Cbr>Claire Austin Executive Director [Jackistateboards@gmail.com](Jackistateboards@gmail.com)\u003Cbr>Website | Alabama Board of Examiners in Marriage and Family Therapy MFT Rules\u003Cbr>Alabama Board of Examiners in Marriage and Family Therapy MFT Statutes | Alabama Board of Examiners in Marriage and Family Therapy Application Form Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist by Endorsement (Paper Application) | A California Marriage and Family Therapist seeking licensure by endorsement in Alabama will need the following:\u003Cbr>• MFT General Information Form\u003Cbr>• Completed MFT Licensure by Endorsement Application\u003Cbr>• $150.00 Application Review Fee (one-time fee required for first-time applicants for the Board Review of Credentials)\u003Cbr>• $325.00 Non-refundable License Fee\u003Cbr>• Professional Employment Experience Forms\u003Cbr>• Marriage and Family Therapist Qualifying Questionnaire Form\u003Cbr>• Two Supervisor Reference Forms from the applicants most recent MFT supervisors (or professional colleagues if supervision was completed more than three years ago)\u003Cbr>• Notarized Affidavit and Release Authorization Form\u003Cbr>• Verification of Licensure Form Received from Another State Licensing Board\u003Cbr>See: Alabama Administrative Code Section 536-X-2-.03 Endorsement of an Individual Who is Licensed/Registered as an MFT under the Laws of Another State or Territory of the United States or of a Foreign Country |\n| Alaska | Alaska Board of Marital and Family Therapy | Address: 550 W 7th Ave, STE 1500, Anchorage, AK 99501\u003Cbr>Phone: 907-269-8160\u003Cbr>Ruth Dinardi\u003Cbr>Executive Director\u003Cbr>BoardOfMaritalAndFamilyTherapy@Alaska.Gov Website | Alaska Board of Marital and Family Therapy Statutes and Regulations | Alaska Board of Marital and Family Thera","cbCaibfgU2JzcmPc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibfgU2JzcmPc","pdf",1029603,41,"English","# Overview\n## License Portability Purpose and Scope\n## Update Notice and Verification Disclaimer\n# State-by-State Requirements\n## Licensing Board Contact and Links\n## Legal/Ethical Rules and Application Materials","[{\"question\":\"What does “license portability” mean for a California LMFT?\",\"answer\":\"It refers to transferring qualifications for licensure from one state to another, despite differing state licensing laws.
