Generally, mobility permits a certified public accountant (CPA) who is licensed and in good standing in their home state to practice public accountancy across state lines without obtaining an additional license in their desired mobility state. To assist licensees and firms in understanding these practice privilege, or “mobility” provisions, cpamobility.org was relaunched in September 2025 with a modernized interface and updated content reflecting numerous changes to mobility legislation that have occurred in the past year, resulting from corresponding changes in licensure requirements. This public site provides jurisdiction-specific summaries of CPA and firm mobility rules, along with direct links to state board laws, rules and contact information.
