Licensed in another state?
Maryland is not issuing ASLP-IC privileges yet, so a speech-language pathologist or audiologist licensed in another state needs a Maryland license for this job. (ASLP-IC Commission, 9 Nov 2026.) For a Maryland license, apply to the Board of Examiners for Audiologists, Hearing Aid Dispensers, Speech-Language Pathologists and Music Therapists for a license by endorsement ($150, by its own page): what Maryland asks. Every state's ASLP-IC status.
What Maryland requires of a speech-language pathologist
Speech-Language Pathologist license (full license), from the Board of Examiners for Audiologists, Hearing Aid Dispensers, Speech-Language Pathologists and Music Therapists.
- The board may waive qualifications or the examination for an applicant who holds a current license in a state whose requirements are at least equivalent to Maryland's (a master's degree, the clinical fellowship and the national examination in speech-language pathology) (Md. Code, Health Occ. 2-305). The ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence is not required, though holding it reduces the paperwork.
- Staying active: Full licenses renew every two years by May 31 of the expiration year, with 30 continuing education units in the two years before renewal, including at least 1 in cultural competency and 1 in ethics (COMAR 10.41.03.05, 10.41.03.06).
