Which states require a certification or credential for direct support professionals
The register tracks direct support workforce training requirements for all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with federal obligations listed separately. No release has been published yet, so no state value can be cited from it: every jurisdiction below is shown with its research status rather than a requirement. Nothing on this page is an estimate.

Questions about certification or credential requirements
- How many states have a published certification or credential requirement for direct support professionals?
- No release has been published yet, so the answer cannot be cited from this register. The page fills in automatically when reviewed research is published.
- What certification or credential requirements have states published?
- No release has been published yet, so the answer cannot be cited from this register. The page fills in automatically when reviewed research is published.
- Why does a state show "not specified in source" or "unknown"?
- A published requirement can be real and still not state a certification or credential requirement. "Not specified in source" means reviewers confirmed the cited document is silent on it; "unknown" means the research has not resolved it yet. Neither is reported as a number, and neither means the state has no rule.
- Where do the values come from?
- Every value is entered from a cited passage in an official government document (.gov), reviewed by a human before publication, and shown here exactly as published in the current release. The source, section, and retrieval date are listed on each requirement page.
