While the state of Georgia does not have any reciprocity agreements, you can still apply for a license via endorsement if you hold a license in another state. To do this, you must have all of the state boards you hold a license with send a letter of certification to the Georgia Board. You must also submit an application for licensure by endorsement along with all the required fees and documents.
