Licensure & Accreditation
Know the Rules Where You Live.
Your diploma is complete and real on its own. What you're legally allowed to do with it — and what you can call yourself while doing it — depends entirely on where you plan to practice.
We cannot tell you the rules for your specific location.
Regulations for practicing Āyurveda — what's allowed, what title you can use, whether any license or registration applies — vary significantly by state, province, and country, and change over time. This page is general orientation, not legal advice. Always verify current requirements with the licensing or health authority where you actually intend to practice, before making any decisions based on what you read here.
A few things worth knowing as you begin looking into your own situation.
Rules Are Local, Not National
Even within one country, requirements can differ from state to state or province to province. A rule that applies where a classmate lives may not apply where you do.
Titles Can Be Restricted Even When Practice Isn't
In some places, anyone can offer wellness guidance, but only certain titles or claims are legally protected. Check both what you can do and what you can call yourself doing it.
Your Advisor Can Help You Ask the Right Questions
We can't give you a legal opinion for your jurisdiction, but your advisor can help you figure out who to actually ask — the right licensing board or health authority for where you live.
