Ok, so when I pass my last exam [positive thoughts!], I think I may have an issue. I started my career in New York and registered to take each CPA exam with NASBA under New York – meaning that NY evaluated my educational requirements and deemed me eligible to sit the exam. However, I recently left New York and relocated to New Jersey. If I pass all four parts of the CPA exam under New York eligibility, how then do I transfer it over to New Jersey and get licensed in NJ? I AM aware that I will have to have a year of experience in NJ, which I just started, but I am not sure what I should do once I past my last part. Do I contact New York, New Jersey, or NASBA? What would be the next step? Also what are the chances that I have issues with my education requirements meeting NJ’s standards if I was approved in NY?

AUD - 75

BEC - 83

I'm assuming that NY is a NASBA state and that your education was evaluated by NASBA to see if it qualified. If so, you'll just have the same evaluation done again – as best I can tell, NASBA has a standard evaluation criteria. Then you'll fill out this: https://www.state.nj.us/lps/ca/accountancy/apps/AppCPA_transfer.pdf and send it in, and most of the rest of the directions look like they're in that.

I tried to find education requirements on their site and NY's site to compare, but neither seems to list the requirements. Given that NJ points you to NASBA's evaluation service, I'm concluding that NASBA has multi-state standards?
