Using a professional license after a military move
A qualifying out-of-state professional license must be accepted in the new state after the member or spouse completes the required application. Licenses governed by an interstate compact follow that compact's rules.
A servicemember or spouse has a qualifying professional license and moves to another state because of military orders.
Apply with the orders and a notarized statement. A spouse also provides a marriage certificate.

Understand the protection
Insurance, licenses, and business
Protecting personal assets from certain business debts
During service, personal assets that are not connected to the business generally cannot be used to pay a business debt for which the member is personally responsible. A court may adjust this protection.
The member is personally responsible for a qualifying business or trade debt during service.
No routine notice to the creditor is specified. Get help if the debt is disputed or someone tries to take personal assets.
