As of late 2025, five states do not require a dietitian license or certification for practice, while others allow nutritional counseling under specific exemptions. Understanding the specific regulatory landscape of each state is crucial for both practitioners and consumers to ensure lawful and safe nutritional guidance.

The number of questions on a real estate licensing exam is not standardized across the United States, with totals often ranging between 100 and 150 multiple-choice questions, divided into national and state-specific sections. This variable structure means prospective agents must research the precise requirements for their state to study effectively.

According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, there are over 111,000 registered dietitians in the United States, all of whom must navigate complex state-specific regulations to practice. This raises a critical question for many professionals: can dietitians practice in different states? The answer is nuanced, involving state licensure laws, reciprocity agreements, and the new Dietitian Licensure Compact.
