Phlebotomist in New Hampshire: licence, certification and what employers require (2026)

New Hampshire does not license phlebotomists; no state licence in most states; employers ask for a national certificate (ASCP, NHA, AMT). This page says what a phlebotomist licensed or working in another state has to do to work in New Hampshire, in the order to do it, and what goes wrong when the order is reversed.

How the transfer works

Most states do not license phlebotomists, so a national certificate carries over to New Hampshire unchanged. Four states do license: California, Louisiana, Nevada and Washington. Moving into one of those means an application to the state health department with proof of training, the national certificate and, in California, documented draws.

What to have ready before you move

• Your national certificate
• Training hours and documented venipunctures
• CPR card

Start the paperwork before you give notice. There is no New Hampshire licence to wait for, so the only clock is the employer's.

What people get wrong

• Arriving in a licensing state without the documented draws
• Assuming a hospital will hire on the certificate alone; most want the state licence first in those four states
