I am looking to move to Arizona within the next four to five months and I am licensed in another state. What steps do I need to take to have my license transferred from the state I am in?

An applicant is eligible for reciprocal licensure if either of the following applies:

1. The applicant has been licensed continuously in another state for the last five years preceding the filing of the application with the Board and the other state has standards for massage therapists that are substantially equivalent to those in this state. OR
2. The applicant holds a current certification from the national certification board for therapeutic massage and bodywork or another agency that meets the standards of the national commission on competency assurance and received education and training substantially equivalent to that required by this chapter.
