# District of Columbia dental license reciprocity

Answer: For dental license reciprocity or licensure by endorsement in District of Columbia, Dentovio's sourced state record highlights this out-of-state license signal: Dentovio did not isolate a licensure-by-endorsement, reciprocity, credentialing, or portability signal in this sourced state record. Verify current out-of-state license options directly with the dental board. Related pathway and exam context: NBDE Parts I and II or the iNBDE, plus a Board-accepted regional clinical examination (e.g., ADEX; historically NERB/CDCA). WREB retired Dec 31, 2022. Confirm the current endorsement, credentials, portability, application, exam, score-age, and foreign-trained exceptions directly with DC Board of Dentistry (DC Health, Department of Health).
