Reciprocity Explained (and How It Differs from NASCLA)
# Reciprocity Explained\n\n**Reciprocity** is a bilateral agreement where holding a license in one state **waives the exam** (sometimes more) in another. It is *not* the same as NASCLA — NASCLA is a shared exam many states accept; reciprocity waives requirements between two specific states. You may use one, the other, or both.
**Takeaway:** Reciprocity waives the exam between two states; NASCLA is a shared exam — they're not the same.
