Missouri has enacted the Compact and will participate. When the Commission's data system is live (est. Spring 2027) and rulemaking is final, licensed social workers with Missouri as their home state can apply for a multistate license — and social workers from other member states can practice in Missouri without a second license.
Verified 2026-07-15 against the official Compact map (swcompact.org).
We'll email you the day Missouri social workers can apply — and if this page's status changes.
Requirements are the same in every member state (Compact model legislation, Section 4): an active unencumbered home-state license, an accredited social work degree, the ASWB exam for your category, an FBI background check — plus, for clinical licenses, 3,000 hours or 2 years of supervised postgraduate practice.
