if you take the exam in CA and pass it, you can ask the BON to endorse your license to DC, which i think you only have to pay $85 (i'm not sure about it).


and if you're asking about the requirement to take the exam, well there has been a lot of question about it. i myself graduated from the Philippines last year, i do not hold a license from the Phils. and still i was able to take my exam.


but i heard in some cases, CA BON is asking for a local license.


there is a posted forum about that here, i suggest you browse to it.


hope it helps.


good luck!
