The Board may waive certain qualifications if:
- The requirements in the other state are the same or higher than those in Maryland, (listed above);
- The applicant holds a current, non-expired license in the other state; and
- The applicant with a Master’s degree has held the current license for at least one year.
An applicant from another state may begin practicing in Maryland on the basis of an active license from the other state if the applicant has a completed application pending before the Board and the applicant has contacted the Board for approval to begin practicing in Maryland. The applicant must obtain a letter from the Board attesting to the complete application and authority to work in Maryland under a license issued by another state.
