How does moving to a different state affect my certification? What do I need to do to practice in that state?

NCCAOM certification is nationally recognized and portability is one of the many benefits of maintaining an active certification; however, since state licensure requirements differ from state to state, it is advised that you check with the state regulatory board governing the practice of acupuncture.

The NCCAOM provides the NCCAOM State Licensure Requirements page on our website. The table contains state contact information, and an overview of which states require NCCAOM exams or certification as a prerequisite to licensure. Click on the map below.
