West Virginia Has Joined, but Is Not Live
Compact status checked 2026-10-08 against counselingcompact.gov
West Virginia has enacted the Counseling Compact (March 23, 2022), but it is not issuing or accepting privileges yet. Each member state has to finish its own setup, including FBI fingerprint authority, before it goes live. Until it does, practicing in West Virginia takes a full West Virginia license, and holding a West Virginia license does not yet give you a privilege anywhere else.
Compact status moves: states go live on their own schedules, and ten were issuing privileges in October 2026 against forty members. This page reflects our last check, not a live feed, so confirm a state's status before relying on it.
