About PermitBridge
PermitBridge exists because moving a professional or trade license between US states should not require reading fifty different government websites written in fifty different styles of bureaucratic language.
Why We Built This
Every existing guide we found online covered a single profession, written once, and rarely updated. Since 2024, license-recognition laws have changed faster than at any point in decades, which means static guides go stale within months. We built PermitBridge to be a living reference instead of a one-time blog post.
How We Research Each Page
Every profession and state page is built from official licensing board sources and cross-checked against each state's statutory language on reciprocity, endorsement, and Universal License Recognition. Each page displays a "last updated" date so you always know how current the information is.
How We Stay Free
PermitBridge is supported by relevant advertising and by referral partnerships with continuing-education and exam-preparation providers. Editorial content and portability scoring are never influenced by these partnerships.
What We Are Not
PermitBridge is not a law firm, a government agency, or a substitute for confirming requirements directly with the official licensing board before you apply, pay a fee, or make a moving decision.
