Application for Reciprocity
through the International Certification & Reciprocity Consortium/Alcohol & Other Drug Abuse

The ICRC/AODA, Inc. is a membership organization for state certification authorities. They promote professionals standards with the commitment to providing high quality services from their clients.

Each member board accepts the certificates of other member boards as meeting the requirements of its own board. This process of reciprocity creates a new level of mobility for the professional counselor.

Reciprocity Procedures:

Send your completed Application for Counselor Reciprocity with a copy of your current certificate, and your check/money order for $100.00 (US Funds) to the ICRC/AODA office.

The board to which you are applying for reciprocity will send you a new certificate and information about reciprocity requirements in the new state.

Exceptions

Not all states currently administer the same types of credentials. Contact the ICRC/AODA board in the state to which you are applying to determine if they administer an equivalent certification. If you find that your current certification does not have an equivalent in your intended state, find out exactly what you will need to do to become fully certified.
