Cosmetology requirements
vary from state to state, and it can sometimes be difficult for cosmetology
professionals to get new jobs when they move from the state where they trained
in and earned their license.
If you have a Cosmetology, Facial or Nail Specialist License in another state or the United States territories of Samoa, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, or Puerto Rico and have relocated to Florida and wish to transfer your license, you must apply for a license by endorsement and meet the following requirements:
AGE: Specialty
registration applicants must be at least 16 years of age or have received a
high school diploma.
EDUCATION: All
applicants attempting to endorse an out-of-state license must have completed
educational hours, comparable or more stringent than those required in Florida.
Florida requires completion
of 1200 educational hours for cosmetologists; 500 hours for full specialists;
260 hours for facial specialists and 240 hours for nail specialists.
HIV/AIDS
COURSE: Complete a board-approved
initial HIV/AIDS course and submit the course completion certificate with your
application. The HIV/AIDS course must meet the following:
1. Be
at least four hours long.
2. Be provided by a Florida Board of Cosmetology Approved CE
Provider.
3. Have been completed within two years prior to submitting an
application.

* If the state in
which you are licensed is not included on the above list, yet you have
completed at least 1,200 hours of schooling and passed a written exam prior to
admittance as a Cosmetologist you may still qualify for licensure by
endorsement. You can submit a transcript from your school indicating the
number of hours completed and documents verifying passage of a written exam, or
a license certification verifying this information.
