IMLC compact licenses

If you qualify, the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact lets you add licenses in other member states through one streamlined application.

41 states + DCOne applicationFaster issuance

How it works

The Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) is an agreement among 41 states, DC and Guam. Physicians who meet its eligibility rules apply once through their state of principal license and receive a Letter of Qualification. With it, they can request licenses from other member states without filing a full application in each one.

We check whether you qualify, prepare the application through your state of principal license, and request each compact license you need. When a state is not in the compact, we file a standard application for it in parallel.

What we handle

  • An eligibility check before you pay any compact fees
  • Choosing the right state of principal license
  • Preparing and submitting the IMLC application
  • Tracking the Letter of Qualification
  • Requesting each member-state license you select
  • Standard applications for any non-compact states on your list

Step by step

  2. ApplyWe file the IMLC application through your state of principal license.
  3. QualifyYour principal-license board verifies you and issues the Letter of Qualification.
  4. LicenseWe request each state license you want, and each board issues it.

Common questions

Is the compact always faster?

Often, but not always. For one or two states, a standard application can be just as quick. We compare both routes for your list of states.

Which states are in the compact?

41 states, DC and Guam participate. A few more have passed laws and are still joining. The map on our homepage shows the current status.

What if I don't qualify?

We file standard applications in each state instead. Nothing is lost; the documents you upload are reused.
