Background
The Social Work Licensure Compact (SWLC) is an interstate agreement that lets licensed social workers practice across member states under one multistate license — issued by your home state and valid in every member state, with no per-state applications.
Unlike the Counseling Compact, where clinicians purchase privileges state by state, the Social Work Compact grants a true multistate license: once your home state approves it, you're authorized across the entire compact footprint.
As of 2026-07-15, 35 states have enacted the Compact and 3 more have legislation pending. The Compact Commission's data system (built with InspiringApps) is estimated for completion in Spring 2027; the Commission estimates applications open after the system is operational and rulemaking is final. No definite date exists yet.
The Compact allows your home state to charge a fee for the multistate license, and an FBI fingerprint background check is required. Exact fees are set during rulemaking — we'll publish them here as they're finalized.
