Endorsement License Procedures for Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Wisconsin

Before beginning your endorsement license application, it is important to ensure you meet the basic requirements set by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). These requirements typically include holding an active Social Worker license in another state, possessing a master's or doctorate degree in social work, and completing the necessary supervised clinical experience. For detailed information on the requirements, you can visit the DSPS website: [Wisconsin DSPS](https://dsps.wi.gov/Pages/Home.aspx).

Once you have confirmed that you meet the requirements, it's time to complete the application for endorsement. The application can be found on the DSPS website under the 'Credential Applications' section. You will need to provide personal information, education details, and documentation of your current license. Make sure to carefully review the application instructions provided on the website to ensure accurate completion.

In addition to the completed application, you will need to submit certain documents to support your endorsement license application. These may include official transcripts from your social work program, verification of your current license, and proof of supervised clinical experience. It is important to follow the document submission guidelines outlined on the DSPS website in order to avoid any delays in the application process.

As with most licensing processes, there is an application fee associated with the endorsement license application. The fee amounts and payment methods are specified on the DSPS website. Be sure to review the fee schedule and submit the payment along with your application. Details regarding payment options and instructions can be found on the DSPS website.

After submitting your application and required documents, the DSPS will review your materials to determine your eligibility for endorsement. The review process may take some time, so it is important to be patient. You can check the status of your application on the DSPS website under the 'Credential Search' section. If additional information or documentation is required, the DSPS will contact you with further instructions.

Once your application has been approved, you will receive your endorsement license. The DSPS will provide instructions on how to activate your license, which typically involves paying a licensing fee and completing any necessary additional steps. The specific instructions can be found on the DSPS website under the 'Credentialing' section.
