Kentucky Beauty License (Cosmetology, Esthetic, and Nail Technology) Transfer to Indiana – How does it work?

According to State Board of Cosmetology and Barber of Indiana, the requirements for transferring Kentucky Beauty State Board certified studied hours to Indiana are as followed:

  1. If you are licensed in State Board of Kentucky, you can request KY State Board to transfer your license record over to State Board of Indiana – you can get your transferred Indiana license
  2. If you completed the KY state board credited hour but NOT YET LICENSED IN KY, you can request KY State Board to transfer your hours’ record/transcript over to State Board of Indiana – your hours and transcript will be validated and aligned to Indiana requirement. In most cases, you will have to attend some hours at Indiana school before you can take the Indiana State Board licensed examination to be licensed.
    • KY transfer hour students have to complete the practical exam at an Indiana school and be made eligible for the licensure exam through the same school as well.
      • Yes – Indiana school provides state board examination too.
