Can a cosmetology license in North Dakota be transferred to someone else?

In North Dakota, cosmetology licenses are considered personal to the individual who has received the certification. This means that the license cannot be transferred or sold to another person under any circumstances. The rationale behind this regulation is to ensure that each licensed professional has met specific educational and training requirements and adheres to the ethical standards upheld by the state’s Board of Cosmetology. This non-transferable nature helps maintain professional integrity and accountability within the cosmetology community.

While the other choices might suggest potential scenarios for transferring a license, they do not align with the established regulations surrounding licensure in this field. Each practitioner must go through the registration and licensing process individually to ensure compliance with state laws and public safety standards.
