Applicants who hold a current license in good standing to practice counseling issued by a counseling licensure authority in another state, territorial possession of the United States, District of Columbia, or Commonwealth of Puerto Rico may apply for endorsement of that license by:

1. (1) Applicant must submit an application on a form approved by the Board.
2. (2) The license that the LPC by Endorsement application is based upon must be a license that the applicant directly qualified for and not one acquired by endorsement or reciprocity in another state.
3. (3) Applicants must supply a copy of the educational and supervised experience requirements in effect on the date of their application to the state of current licensure.
4. (4) The Board may, at its discretion, waive the formal examination requirements of an applicant, provided that the applicant has a passing score on a written counseling examination that, in the opinion of the Board, is substantially equivalent to the examination established by the Alabama Board.
5. (5) Applicants must meet the Alabama educational and supervised experience requirements that were in effect on the date of their application to the state of current licensure.
