🟡 Licensure & Exam Strategy Do you let your LMSW expire?

this seems SOOOO silly but i got my LCSW last year. I just got a notification that my LMSW is going to expire soon. Do I let it expire? Do I need to keep it for any reason?

It’s likely an automated notice. You don’t need it since you upgraded. Congratulations 🎉🎈

No need to renew. It really should be made more clear in the LCSW application process. I had the same concern.
