Staff developed an initial plan to rename, repurpose, and rebrand the Social Work Registry for use by all new and practicing social workers. As envisioned, the enhanced Registry service will integrate ASWB products and services for the life cycle of an applicant’s social work career. The plan will incorporate initiatives under way for Mobility, license portability, continuing education, and Path to Licensure.

ASWB launched the new and improved laws and regs database, a web-based platform that offers information about social work licensing in U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions. Users are able to export data to multiple formats.
