Compare the requirements.
Keep the context.

What the rankings can tell you

Each measure uses its own verified fields. Missing information never becomes a zero, a free license or a shorter route. We do not add partially known fees into a total or turn required hours into days.

These are broad profession directories. Sources may describe different license levels, application routes or scopes of work. Read each state’s requirements and the supporting quotation before comparing the figures.

Already licensed? Read the reciprocity guide. Planning a renewal? Start with CE basics.
