Veteran and Spouse Licensing Flexibility Act of 2025

HR 5035, the Veteran and Spouse Licensing Flexibility Act of 2025, allows veterans and their spouses to have their existing professional licenses recognized in a new state when they relocate within 36 months of the veteran's discharge. To qualify, applicants must submit a copy of the veteran's DD Form 214, a marriage certificate (for spouses), and a notarized affidavit confirming license validity and good standing. If a state cannot process the application within 30 days, it must issue a temporary license with the same rights as a permanent one. This bill directly affects veterans and their spouses moving states after military service, streamlining license portability without requiring new exams or training.
