interstate compact license

It's exactly what you just described. It is good in the group of states that agree to "share" licensing. If you go from one compact state to another you do not have to apply for a license in that second state. If, however, you move to a non-compact state, you have to get a license there.

Here's a helpful website that shows which states participate in the interstate compact license:

You must also have a residence in the compact state in order to work in the other compact states.

For example my residence is in MO. I have an AR license (which is a compact state) but because I actually reside in a non compact state, my AR license is only valid in AR.

It can get really confusing

HI mom2MICHAEL

I Have a question I live in Ma which isn't a compact state I have a license here and also in N.H. which is a compact state so is my N.H. license only valid in N.H.

Thanks

yes, debi your compact license is valid only in NH because you don't actually reside in NH.
