I never worked in Illionois and want to transfer my license to the new state.I was reading the requirement for Georgia state and noticed that for Licensure by exam I need to pass the TOFEL exam which Illionois doesnot reqire.If I want to transfer my Illinois license to Georgia, do I need to take TOFEL?.I tried to call the board, but did not get a sure reply.Can anyone please help????????

Yes. If you are going to endorse to another state you need to meet the requirements of that state.
