Frequently Asked Questions
I'm applying for both LSW and LPC at the same time. Do I need two separate fingerprint submissions?
Both the social work and counseling licenses are under the same CSWMFT Board with the same ORI, so one fingerprint submission should cover both — confirm with the Board to be certain.
