If you have passed the ASWB Clinical Exam and currently hold a valid LCSW license in another state, you are not required to retake the clinical exam to become licensed in California.
Instead, you may apply for California licensure by following the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) out-of-state applicant process.
For more information and to access the application materials, please visit the following BBS websites:
