Massachusetts professional licensing boards count your military education, training and service toward licensure requirements, keep an active duty service member’s professional license valid until 90 days after discharge, and fast-track licensure for active duty service members and military spouses who are licensed in another state and moved here on military orders. The Division also waives part of the initial licensure fee if you qualify under any of those categories.
Complete the affidavit that matches your situation, active duty military, military spouse or veteran, attach the documentation the application lists, and return it to the Division of Occupational Licensure, One Federal Street, Suite 600, Boston, MA 02110-2012. For questions call 617-701-8600.
