STATE LICENSURE

 1. Home
 2. Licensure


EXAMINATION PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES

NBCC administers the licensure examinations used by all 50 states, the District
of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. Each state counselor
licensure board administers the application processes and procedures in
accordance with state law, including determining the requirements to sit for the
examination. NBCC enforces those requirements when registering candidates for
testing. If you have any questions regarding the licensure process, please
contact your state licensure board.

State licensure application processes vary. Your state may specifically require
the National Counselor Examination (NCE) or the National Clinical Mental Health
Counseling Examination (NCMHCE). Some states require both examinations or allow
you to choose which examination you will take. The National Board for Certified
Counselors (NBCC) has created a directory of state licensure board information
to assist you in gathering important information and submitting the correct
examination registration.

To register for an examination for the purposes of state licensure create or log
in to your Credentialing Gateway account to begin the process. Once registered,
you will receive an email from Pearson VUE, our exam site host, with information
about scheduling your exam.

IDENTIFICATION

To enter the examination site, you will need to present two valid forms of
identification, one of which must include a picture. Examples of acceptable IDs
include a driver’s license or picture ID issued by the department of motor
vehicles, a passport or a military ID. The name in your record must match the
name on your ID.


IN-PERSON ADMINISTRATION

The examination is administered by appointment only on dates authorized by CCE,
Monday through Saturday beginning at 8 am with the last appointment at 5:30 pm.
Please contact Pearson VUE for particular locations and details. Candidates are
allowed three hours and 45 minutes to take the exam. Available dates will be
indicated when scheduling your examination. Candidates are scheduled on a
first-come, first-served basis.


REMOTE ADMINISTRATION

Online administration through Pearson VUE’s platform, OnVUE—may be taken on a
computer at home or in a private office with a strong internet connection and a
webcam. Online exam administrations are offered 24 hours a day for both exams.
For more information about the OnVUE process and system requirements, visit our
remote administration page.


SCORES

If your state uses computer-based testing, you will receive an unofficial score
report immediately after the exam. The official score reports will be sent to
the State Board office approximately 30 business days after the exam
administration window closes for the month. For your protection and
confidentiality, scores are not released over the telephone.


RETAKES

If you did not pass the examination, if applicable, you may re-register by
logging into your Credentialing Gateway account. There will be a fee for exam
re-registration.
