MN State Examination reference sheet

Upon approval of the Application for LMFT Licensure, the applicant will receive email notification of their scheduled MN State Examination date (sent approximately one week after application approval). Exams will be scheduled within 90 days of application approval.  All MN State Exams are closed to the public. Applicants are notified of the exam result (PASS/FAIL) by email one week after the exam date.  Those passing the exam will be required to pay a prorated LMFT license fee for licensure through December 31 of the current year.  Those not passing will select the date on which they will retake the exam (typically two to three months after the initial exam date).

All exams are typically scheduled in the morning.  Additional exam dates may be added or exam dates cancelled based on scheduling needs.  Exams are held at the MN Board of Marriage & Family Therapy office.
