Once you become a professional school counselor, you may be able to take advantage of license reciprocity, also known as license portability. This is a policy that allows school counselors licensed in one state to receive an equivalent license in another, based on their existing qualifications.
Currently, 42 states provide some form of license reciprocity for school counselors. Most offer it unconditionally, but a handful have special conditions, or exclusions for certain states. See the American Counseling Association’s Licensure Portability Model to see a primer on the subject and to learn more about advocacy efforts to create better license reciprocity for school counselors.
