Primary-source citation manifest

Every status on this site traces to a source listed here, verified June 16, 2026. Primary sources are load-bearing; cross-check sources are used only for context.

SWCompactMap provides informational summaries of Social Work Licensure Compact status by state. Compact participation and eligibility depend on individual licensing history and state-specific rules that are still being finalized. Verify with your state's social work board and the Social Work Licensure Compact Commission before relying on anything here. Not affiliated with the Commission, ASWB, CSWE, NASW, or any state board.

On counts: the Commission’s jurisdictions page enumerated 30 member states when we verified it. We publish that figure and note where third-party counts differ, rather than guess which additional states a higher count refers to.
