    A:  Those three states do not have state licensure.  Your certification will be required by most but not all employers.

    I am not sure about Washington state, but neither Texas nor Virginia require a license to work in a clinical laboratory.

    State License is not required in Texas to work as Technologists/ Scientists , as long as you have a valid/active MLS ASCP certification. You can send your application through the Hospital website. Good Luck.
