What CarryOn does
Four inputs. Your complete transfer packet.
Transfer requirements
Exactly what your new state requires for your specific license — not a generic government PDF.
Interstate compact check
Whether your profession has a compact agreement, and whether both your states are members — which can cut weeks off the process.
Cost & timeline estimate
What to budget and how long to plan for, based on your specific origin and destination states.
Pre-filled reimbursement form
The correct government form for your branch — SF 1034 for Army, OF 1164 for everyone else — pre-filled with your transfer details. Attach receipts and submit.
Reimbursement checklist by branch
Every document your branch requires to process your claim. Up to $1,000 for most branches — up to $2,000 for Army spouses under Army Directive 2024-04.
Licensing board links
Direct links to the boards in both your origin and destination states. No more hunting through .gov websites.
Why this exists
Most nurses license once. Military spouses relicense every PCS.
More than 1 in 3 military spouses holds a professional license. Every PCS — every single one — means starting the relicensing process over in a new state. Different boards, different fees, different timelines, different rules about what transfers and what doesn't.
And buried inside all of that paperwork is a federal benefit most spouses never find: up to $1,000 in reimbursement for every qualifying PCS move, authorized by Congress in 2018 and expanded since — and up to $2,000 for Army spouses under Army Directive 2024-04. Most military spouses never claim it — not because they aren't eligible, but because no one told them it existed.
"I spent three weeks piecing this together from Facebook groups and state licensing websites. I didn't even know I could get reimbursed until after the deadline."
