Everything you need to know about transferring your social worker license from Utah to Idaho
Idaho offers license by endorsement for out-of-state social workers with an active license and who have passed the ASWB at the appropriate level. Application fee: $90. ASWB exam scores are accepted from other states. Idaho is NOT currently a member of the Social Work Licensure Compact, though Idaho's Board of Social Work Examiners participated in the Technical Assistance Group that helped develop the compact legislation.
