Skip the Paperwork. Get Your IMLC for $99.
40+ states. 3–4 weeks. We handle every form.
The Interstate Medical Licensure Compact lets eligible physicians qualify for expedited licensure across 40+ member states — in 3–4 weeks instead of the 3–9 months each state takes individually.
The catch? Most physicians never apply. The IMLC application is a maze of FCVS verification, fingerprinting, board attestations, and state add-ons that takes 8–12 hours of focused work to complete correctly. Mess one section up and your packet bounces.
We do the entire thing for you. You pay $99 as a refundable deposit. That is the whole offer.
What you actually get for $99:
Letter of Qualification (LOQ) submitted to your home state's compact commission — this is the gateway document for everything else
[DIY value: $700 IMLC fee — covered by us]
FCVS profile setup + primary source verification
[DIY value: $375 + 4–8 hours of your time — covered by us]
Fingerprinting coordination via IdentoGO
We book the appointment, you walk in, scan, walk out.
State-by-state license applications to every IMLC state you select
[DIY value: $50–$300/state in fees + 1–2 hours of paperwork each — state fees covered by us]
Daily status tracking + weekly progress emails so you know exactly where every state stands
Dedicated licensing coordinator — one person, one inbox, your name on their list
Eligibility pre-check — if your home state isn't IMLC-eligible or you don't meet compact criteria, full refund. No-risk on your $99.
Total DIY cost if you did this yourself: $700–$2,500+ in fees + 15–30 hours of your time spent fighting state portals.
Your cost with Locums One: $99 refundable deposit — refunded if we don't deliver in 4 weeks, or if you're not eligible.
The catch (which isn't really a catch): When you sign up, you join the Locums One Bench. We get a 90-day right of first refusal on any locum opportunity that matches your specialty and your new license cluster — meaning we surface gigs to you first. After 90 days you're a regular bench member, no obligations. Your licenses are yours forever, regardless.
Frequently asked
Q: What if I'm not actually IMLC-eligible?
We run an eligibility check before submitting anything. If your home state isn't an IMLC member, or you don't meet compact criteria (active unrestricted license, no disciplinary history, board-certified or eligible), we refund the $99 in full. Same refund applies if we don't deliver your license within 4 weeks. No paperwork, no negotiation.
Q: I already have multiple state licenses. Is this still useful?
Yes. IMLC adds NEW states fast, but it also simplifies renewals and verifications going forward. Every IMLC state honors the compact's primary-source verification, which means future state license applications become 80% faster.
Q: What's the 90-day "right of first refusal"?
When we surface a locum opportunity that matches your specialty and your IMLC license cluster, we get to show it to you before any other agency in our network does. You're never obligated to take any assignment. After 90 days, this exclusivity expires automatically.
Q: Can I take an assignment with a different agency while my IMLC is pending?
Absolutely. The license is yours from day one of approval. The 90-day window only applies to opportunities we surface to you — you're free to work with anyone else simultaneously.
Q: Does Locums One cover state-specific add-on fees too?
Yes — every IMLC member state's $50–$300 issuance fee is included in the $99. No surprise charges after signup.
Q: What's the actual timeline?
Average 3–4 weeks from when we submit your complete packet. Some states issue in under 2 weeks. The slowest states take 5–6 weeks. We track every state daily and surface delays before they become problems.
Q: What happens if a state board rejects my application?
Rare with proper packet prep (we screen for common issues upfront). If it happens, we refile at no additional cost. The $99 is one-time.
