Military Spouse Licensure Portability
Partnership/Type: Office of Military Community and Family Policy
Status: Completed Project
The Military Spouse License Portability project was designed to inform Department of Defense (DoD) policy makers of the amount of time it takes military spouses to obtain an occupational license when they have an inter-state relocation due to a Permanent Change of Station (PCS).
In partnership with the DoD, Defense State Liaison Office (DSLO), the Clearinghouse examined six occupational licensure boards across 50 states and Washington D.C.. Findings include license-application processing times, supporting documentation requirements, application process details, information accessibility, and application costs.
