Speech-Language Pathologist License by State: Transfer, Fees and the Compact: common questions
How do I transfer my speech-language pathologist license to another state?
There is no transfer as such: you apply to the new state's board for its own license by endorsement, with your national exam score, degree and clinical fellowship (or the CCC-SLP) and verification of the licenses you hold, as each state's page says. Where both states issue privileges under the ASLP-IC, a compact privilege lets you work there instead (every state's ASLP-IC status).
How much does an SLP license by endorsement cost?
By the boards' own pages, from $5 to $395 across the 40 states whose page states the fee; each state's page gives its own and what it covers.
Which states require a jurisprudence exam for speech-language pathologists?
7 states by their boards' own pages, among the 45 states and DC we have read: the exam (or course) covers the state's own law and rules for the profession. Each state's page names it.
How many speech-language pathologist jobs are open in each state?
4,876 speech-language pathologist jobs are open on this board today, each read from the employer's own careers site. A state in the table opens its speech-language pathologist jobs.

Sources and method
A state's rule is what its own official page states; a state whose page we have not read says "Not read yet", never "none". The job counts are the speech-language pathologist jobs open on this board, by the state each job is in.
