  • License Renewal

    This pathway is for currently licensed SLPs in Utah who must renew their license periodically by completing continuing education and submitting renewal fees. It ensures that practitioners stay up-to-date and maintain compliance with Utah’s professional standards.

  • Reciprocity (Out-of-State)

    This pathway is for speech-language pathologists holding an active license in another U.S. jurisdiction who wish to practice in Utah. It allows qualified professionals to transfer their credentials by demonstrating equivalency with Utah’s licensure requirements and begin work in the state.
