Okla. Stat. tit. 59, § 59-1261.4: Reciprocity - Qualifications

A. Any person who becomes a resident of this state and who is

or has been, immediately preceding the person's residency in this

state, licensed to practice social work by another state which

grants a like privilege of reciprocity and who meets the educational

and work experience qualifications for licensure in this state may,

upon payment of the necessary fee and submission of documentation as

required by the Board, be licensed under the provisions of the

Social Worker's Licensing Act.

B. In cases where reciprocity does not exist the Oklahoma State

Board of Licensed Social Workers may endorse the actions of another

state licensing board upon receipt of information by that board

documenting that the applicant has met the educational and

supervisory requirements of the Oklahoma State Board in another

state, and has passed the same examination or a more stringent

examination than that used by the Oklahoma State Board of Licensed

Social Workers.

C. 1. For a social worker currently licensed in another

jurisdiction to obtain a license as a social worker by reciprocity

in this state, an applicant shall:

a. submit a written application in the form prescribed by

the Board,

b. have attained the age of majority,

c. have a social work degree at the designation for which

the applicant is seeking licensure,

d. possess, at the time of initial licensure as a social

worker, the qualifications necessary to have been

eligible for licensure in this state,

e. present to the Board a passing score on the designated

licensure examination,

f. present to the Board proof that the transferring

social work license is current and in good standing,

g. present to the Board proof that any social work or any

other professional license or other credential granted

to the applicant by any other state has not been

suspended, revoked, or otherwise restricted for any

reason except nonrenewal or for the failure to obtain

the required continuing education credits in any

jurisdiction where the applicant is or has been

licensed, and

h. pay the fees specified by the Board.

2. Applicants for license transfer under this section shall

only be eligible for licensure at the equivalent designation

recognized in the currently licensed jurisdiction.
