The Board will accept reciprocity with any state where the provisions of registration are essentially the same as required by the State of Mississippi. A license issued under the reciprocity provisions require the same renewal as a resident of Mississippi, i.e. renewal dates, renewal fees, CFE requirement, etc. Once a license is obtained under the reciprocity provision, the residence of the Registered Forester may change while not affecting the status of his/her license.

The Board maintains a charter membership with the Association of Southeastern Boards of Registration for Foresters (ASBORF) and has reciprocity with the following states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.  These states also maintain a charter membership with ASBORF.
