Illinois Is Not a Compact State
Compact status checked 2026-10-08 against swcompact.org
Illinois is not a Social Work Licensure Compact member, so a multistate license will not cover practice here even once the Compact opens. Seeing clients located in Illinois takes an Illinois license, by endorsement where the state offers it or a full application where it does not.
Compact status moves: more states join each session, and the Commission expects to open multistate licensing around 2027. This page reflects our last check, not a live feed, so confirm a state's status before relying on it.
