Each state has its own licensing requirements when it comes to professions. Some states require a license for certain professions; some don't. Some require testing to be taken when moving states; some licenses transfer without a problem from state to state. It depends on both your profession and the laws of your state.
Sometimes, these professional licenses can become in danger of being lost through no fault of your own. This is the time to consult an attorney to make sure that you keep your hard-earned professional license.
