- Florida: Requires licensure from the Florida Department of Health for radiologic technologists, with additional certification in Interventional Radiology often preferred.
- New York: Requires licensure for radiologic technologists by the New York State Department of Health, and specific IR credentials may be needed for certain tasks.

- Some states, such as Arizona and Michigan, may not have strict licensure requirements for radiologic technologists, but professional certification (e.g., ARRT) is often preferred or required by employers.
Certification requirements may be updated regularly, and individual states may have different guidelines for IR Techs regarding their scope of practice. It is essential for IR Technologists to be aware of state-specific rules and keep their credentials up to date.
