FAQ

Where can I find my official state licensing board?

Pick your career and state in the directory. We show the official agency and its website when we have them, and otherwise give you the exact search to use (e.g., “Texas CNA license board”). Always use the official state or vendor domain — never a third-party renewal service that charges a fee.

What does the state board actually do?

State licensing boards approve education programs, run background checks, issue and renew licenses, set continuing education rules, handle reciprocity, and discipline licensees. They are the only authoritative source for your requirements, fees and deadlines.

Why does some data say “check with your state board”?

We only publish official board details we can source. When a career-and-state row hasn’t been loaded into our data yet, we say so plainly and point you to the search that will find the right agency — rather than guessing at a link.

Are the vendor links on this page official?

Yes. The exam vendor links (PSI, Pearson VUE, Credentia, Prometric, FSMTB) point to each company’s official website. Your state chooses which vendor administers your exam, so confirm the correct one for your state.
