Foreign Service Families: Professional License Portability and Lease Termination
New rules ease life for Foreign Service members and their spouses, allowing them to continue working in licensed professions after relocating within the U.S. Additionally, the act expands the ability to terminate leases and phone contracts early to those relocated domestically, which previously only applied to overseas assignments.
Key points
Professional Licenses: Foreign Service members and their spouses can now use their professional licenses in their new U.S. residency, provided they meet conditions like maintaining good standing with previous licensing authorities and adhering to new state regulations. This excludes law licenses.
Early Lease Termination: The option to terminate residential, motor vehicle, and telephone service contracts early is now available to Foreign Service members relocated within the United States, not just those posted abroad.
