State Board licensure requirements are displayed exactly as received from each jurisdiction.  The National Board accepts no responsibility for these statements.

Candidates are advised to check directly with a state board regarding its specific use of examination results. Click State Board Offices to view a listing of names, addresses, and phone numbers of these offices.

The National Board pass/fail decisions are made on the Part score only (except for TMOD). Some state boards may also require a score of 75 or better on some sections. This action is at the discretion of each state board and does not affect a candidate's status with the National Board.

The requirements for all State Boards are listed below: (Click State for detailed information)
