ABOUT LICENSED SOCIAL WORKERS (LSWs)
LSWs are authorized to practice social work which includes social services to individuals, groups or communities in any one or more of the fields of social casework, social group work, a community organization for social welfare, social work research, social welfare administration or social work education. LSWs may engage in clinical social work practice, as long as it is under the direct supervision and control of a licensed clinical professional. LSWs may not create an independent private practice and engage in independent clinical social work. There are additional billing restrictions and fields that require an LCSW, so please consult your employer or billing entity if you have concerns.
DO I NEED TO TAKE THE ASWB EXAM?
As of January 1, 2022, the ASWB examination is no longer required for LSW licensure in Illinois. Therefore, if you are looking to practice with clients in the state of Illinois, you do not need to take the ASWB exam to become an LSW.
However, if you are looking to move to another state and/or you wish to get licensed in another state in addition to Illinois, that state may require an ASWB examination in order to practice. To find out whether the state in which you are planning to practice requires an ASWB exam, you must contact the licensing board of that state. Every state will be different regarding their process and requirements.
For those seeking accomodations: For those who need special services and testing accommodations to take the ASWB exam, please see our FAQ below on how to request accommodations.
DO I NEED CEUs?
You do not need CEUs to apply for licensure.
STEPS TO OBTAINING YOUR LSW
You will need to apply to the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation (IDFPR) which licenses and regulates all licensed professions in the state.
Step One: You must fulfill/obtain the following LSW licensure requirements:
-
Be of good moral character.

A degree from a CSWE–approved graduate program of social work*,
OR
A degree from a CSWE–approved undergraduate program of social work*, AND
3 years of supervised professional experience.
*The department (IDFPR) has confirmed that you may submit your application for the LSW before obtaining your degree which can be submitted after graduation. We strongly encourage all students who enter into their last semester of school to begin applying for their LSW in order to get ahead in the application processing queue before the crush of graduates who wait until after graduation to apply.

To submit your LSW application with an official transcript in lieu of the ED form:

If you do not receive a passing score on the ASWB clinical exam, you may continue to retake the exam until you receive a passing score, or you may want to explore whether the alternative to the ASWB clinical exam is right for you.
Step Five: IDFPR Application Processing Times
As of January 2024, department application processing times for ALL Illinois professions has been delayed even longer than normal. If you want to find out the status of an application, the best way to check is to contact IDFPR about the status of your application. Additionally, you can go to the IDFPR website and use the License Look Up feature. After selecting “Social Worker” for License Type, type in your first and last name. If you are licensed, you should see your name with your license number. If your application process exceeds 6 weeks, we encourage you to reach out to your local state legislator and be persistent. Click here to find your legislator.
What if you still have an active application (less than 3 years old) and want to use the Alternative to the ASWB Clinical Exam?
If you have an ACTIVE application, meaning you applied for an LCSW within the last three years, you can bypass completing the entire application and just complete the new updated VE-SW form. Completed forms (signed by your supervisor) can be emailed to fpr.hssunit@illinois.gov or mailed to: IDFPR, Health Services Section, 320 W Washington St., Springfield, IL 62786.
If your LCSW application is over 3 years old, you will need to complete the entire application again using the new verification form.
If you do not have verification of your clinical supervision hours with an original signature, you can complete one of the following:
-
Submit your envelope that contained a duplicate copy of your original clinical supervision hours. If you do not have a duplicate copy, contact your former supervisor(s) and have them complete the verification form again.
-
If you unable to contact your supervisor or cannot get them to re-sign your clinical supervision hours, submit photocopies of the form with a letter explaining why you are unable to get your former supervisor to sign off again. If you do not have photocopies of your original hours, send a letter explaining why you are unable to get your former supervisor to sign off again.
Include any supporting documentation you may have, including any e-mails you have with your supervisor, etc.
If you have made a good faith effort to get your former supervisor to re-sign the forms, then re-submit the application. While the department prefers verification with original signatures (no photocopies), they will evaluate your application and make a case-by-case decision.
Alternative to the ASWB Clinical Exam
For those deciding between retaking the exam or utilizing the alternative to the exam, some considerations should be taken into account. While other states are looking at passing alternatives to the ASWB clinical exam, applicants licensed in Illinois under this option may find that they cannot practice in other states that still require the exam. Some jobs may also require the exam for employment including some federal governmental positions and therapist jobs on border states that require multi-licensed professionals. Furthermore, the Social Work Licensure Compact will require the passage of a nationally accepted exam (currently the ASWB clinical exam) for participation.
It is important to note that applicants who are licensed utilizing the alternative path to the ASWB exam may practice as an LCSW in Illinois and retake the exam at a later date if future employment requires you to be licensed in other states. For all purposes in Illinois, whether you use your ASWB clinical exam score or the alternative to the ASWB clinical exam for licensure, you will be licensed as an LCSW with full practice authority of that license.
To qualify for the alternative to the ASWB clinical exam, an applicant must complete the following:
-
Taken the ASWB clinical exam at least once after January 1, 2019, and
-
Complete an additional 3,000 hours of professional experience obtained within the last 10 years and have those hours signed off by an LCSW/clinical professional.** NOTE: These hours are not 3,000 additional clinical hours but rather professional experience hours which may consist of: social services to individuals, groups, or communities in any one or more of the fields of social casework, social group work, community organization for social welfare, social work research, social welfare administration. school social work, or social work education. Supervised professional experience may also include supervised clinical social work as described in Section 1470.20 of the Social Work Practice Act.
Beginning January 1, 2026, professional work experience hours must be acquired while you hold a valid LSW or PEL (with school social worker endorsement). If you do not anticipate being licensed as an LCSW before January 1, 2026, we strongly encourage you to acquire your LSW now.
**If an LCSW supervisor is unable to sign off on hours, the following professionals are qualified to sign off on professional experience: licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC), licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), licensed clinical psychologist (LCP), licensed psychiatrist (LP), or licensed advanced practice psychiatric nurse (APPN).
Test Preparation for the ASWB Examination
For those who are interested in a course to help them prepare for the ASWB examination, the NASW-Illinois Chapter Social Work Licensure Test Review Course (formerly LSW/LCSW Review Course) is the longest running review course in the state. Highly rated by our participants, this fast-paced, 8-hour course covers the format and structure of the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) clinical examination as well as the most current content areas as determined by the ASWB for licensure. Participants can expect this course to be an interactive, discussion-led review of testing topics, case studies, and additional reading materials that will help you identify areas you may need to review in your knowledge base before taking the ASWB exam rather than a complete overhaul of everything learned in school. Practice questions will be reviewed to illustrate test-taking strategies and reinforce content material. Access to the NASW-IL–proprietary manual is available to course registrants only.
For a list of upcoming review course dates, check out our Licensure Review Course page.
DISCLAIMER ABOUT THE ASWB EXAM & OUR LICENSURE REVIEW COURSE: In light of the recent ASWB disclosures regarding disparities caused by a biased test, the NASW-Illinois Chapter has transitioned our licensure review course to a zero budgeted profit event similar to our annual Advocacy Day by reducing fees nearly in half. These new rates and updated policies will hopefully aid applicants in passing a clearly flawed exam. Preparation courses like the NASW-Illinois Chapter Social Work Licensure Test Review Course cannot replace the fact that the ASWB test is inherently biased and discriminatory. While we will continue to offer this course as the ASWB exam is still required for licensure, it is essential to note that your test results do not reflect your knowledge and future performance as a social worker, nor do we believe that the ASWB exam should be used for such
purposes.
TRANSFERRING YOUR LICENSE (Currently licensed in another state)
Esta sección es para solicitantes que actualmente poseen una licencia de trabajo social equivalente en otro estado.
Si tiene licencia en otra jurisdicción y busca obtener la credencial LSW o LCSW equivalente en Illinois, puede solicitar cualquiera de las licencias siguiendo la mayoría de los pasos enumerados anteriormente para las licencias LSW o LCSW, salvo las excepciones que se enumeran a continuación:
Para solicitantes LSW y LCSW:
Solicitud de IDFPR :
Aprobación : Una diferencia para los solicitantes que ya tienen licencia en otra jurisdicción es que pueden utilizar la opción “Aprobación” para su método de obtención de licencia en la solicitud de licencia del IDFPR (consulte la Parte I, B, n.° 3). La tarifa de solicitud de licencia para esta opción es de $200. Puede encontrar más información sobre la opción Aprobación en la página 2 de la solicitud del IDFPR.
Prueba de examen : Además, si tiene una licencia equivalente en otro estado, no necesita proporcionar prueba de aprobación del examen ASWB en la solicitud de IDFPR. Ley de trabajo social clínico y práctica del trabajo social , Sección 12.5 Aprobación
SOLAMENTE solicitantes de LCSW:
Si tiene “licencia a nivel independiente en otra jurisdicción de los Estados Unidos durante 5 años consecutivos sin disciplina”, no necesita presentar prueba de finalización de la educación y experiencia profesional clínica supervisada. En cambio, debe presentar verificación certificada de la licencia de la jurisdicción en la que ejerce, así como cumplir con todos los demás requisitos de licencia y pagar todas las tarifas requeridas.
Si bien entendemos que las circunstancias atenuantes hacen que sea difícil para las personas cumplir con los requisitos para la renovación de la licencia, en el Capítulo de Illinois de NASW, en última instancia, no recomendamos dejar que su licencia caduque. Esto se debe a los costos y esfuerzos excesivos que se requieren para restaurar una licencia después de que haya caducado. Además, cuando restablezca o restaure su licencia, solo se restablecerá o restaurará a partir de la fecha en que el departamento otorgue la restablecimiento o restauración en adelante, es decir, su licencia no se retrotraerá al período de tiempo durante el cual caducó.
Sin embargo, si ha dejado que su licencia caduque, existen pasos para RESTAURAR o RESTAURAR su licencia:
Debe RESTAURAR su licencia si ha dejado que caduque o la ha suspendido por menos de 5 años. Para restablecer su licencia:
Descargue la solicitud de restablecimiento de la licencia de Illinois del IDFPR aquí y complétela.
Llame al centro de llamadas del DPR (800.560.6420) para consultar sobre las tarifas y la documentación adicional que pueda requerirse para su reintegro específico.
NOTA: El IDFPR actualmente está eximiendo las tarifas para restablecer licencias que han estado inactivas o vencidas durante cinco años o menos hasta el 1 de enero de 2028. Haga clic aquí para obtener más información.
Debe RESTAURAR su licencia si ha caducado hace más de 5 años. Para restaurar su licencia, debe comunicarse con el centro de llamadas de IDFPR (800.560.6420) o enviar un correo electrónico a fpr.lmu@illinois.gov para solicitar instrucciones, formularios y tarifas (como se indica en la solicitud de licencia de IDFPR ). Tenga en cuenta que las restauraciones NO PUEDEN completarse en el portal en línea de IDFPR. Puede llevar de 6 a 8 semanas obtener su formulario de restauración personalizado que enumerará todos los requisitos y tarifas de restauración.
Para obtener más detalles sobre cómo solicitar la restauración de una licencia (LCSW o LSW), revise las Reglas de Trabajo Social (Sección 1470.80 Restauración).
