Can a Audiologist transfer a license to Michigan as a military spouse?

We checked Michigan's audiologist licensing rules and couldn't find a military-spouse provision written specifically for audiologists. That's usually not an oversight on our end: in most of these states the military-spouse licensing law runs through a separate division that doesn't cover this board, so it never reaches the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), Board of Speech-Language Pathology / Board of Audiology. It does not leave you stuck — here's the path that still works.

1. Apply through the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), Board of Speech-Language Pathology / Board of Audiology's out-of-state / endorsement route — that's the on-ramp every spouse uses here.
2. Invoke VAEIA 2022 / 50 U.S.C. § 4025a in writing, attaching your sponsor's PCS orders. It legally forces Michigan to recognize your valid out-of-state audiologist license on a military move — no separate state rule required.
3. If they can't finalize a permanent license within 30 days, ask for a temporary license — the statute requires the board to issue one so you can keep working.
4. Keep your receipts: DoD reimburses up to $1,000 per PCS for relicensing, and MyCAA covers up to $4,000 toward portable credentials.

Call the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), Board of Speech-Language Pathology / Board of Audiology to confirm the current military-spouse timeline before you move — and if you find an official MI provision we missed, tell us and we'll source it.
