SCLLR

Endorsement Applications

South Carolina is a member of the National-Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology (NIC). Proof of successful passage of the NIC exam (theory and practical) is required.

License Verification(s) from all states where you have been licensed must be mailed or emailed directly to the Board from the licensing state. South Carolina does not have a reciprocal agreement with any state. An official license verification may be used as proof of passing the NIC exam.

It is the applicant's responsibility to contact the specific state board and ensure the examination shown is the NIC exam and reflects a passing score for both portions.

If you submit the endorsement application and acceptable proof of passing the NIC exam is not provided, you will be required to take the NIC exam before a license is issued.
