🗂️ Exam administration by state
Phlebotomy is mostly a nationally-certified profession (ASCP, NHA, AMT, NCCT and others). Only four states require a separate STATE certificate or license to draw blood — California, Louisiana, Nevada and Washington — and even those four accept a national certifying organization's exam rather than running their own. The real exam is offered in English. In the other ~46 states there is no state phlebotomy license; national certification is voluntary or employer-required. This table shows the four state-credential states.

State rules change often. This table shows only facts confirmed from an official state agency source on the date noted; anything unconfirmed is marked “to confirm.” In the ~46 states not listed, there is no state phlebotomy license — national certification (ASCP, NHA, AMT, NCCT, etc.) is voluntary or employer-driven. Always verify current requirements with your state agency or certifying organization before you register.
