Massage Therapy license are only for the state you take them in. It's best to take the national certification test so you are certified in all 50 states.
Unfortunately, state massage licenses do not transfer from one state to another, even if you have passed your National Certification test. You will have to reapply in Arizona and possibly take more courses. Maine requires 500 hours of training and Arizona requires 700 hours of training in massage therapy. So your NCE National test will transfer, but most likely, you will need to take more classes to meet their 700 hour requirement.

States like Florida, New York, and California often have reciprocity agreements, but the process can differ based on factors such as education, experience, and the specific requirements of each state. It's essential for therapists to check the regulations of the state they wish to practice in for the most accurate and updated information.

In Michigan, many cities allow massage therapy to be conducted from home, provided that practitioners comply with local zoning laws and licensing requirements.

Always ensure that you have the necessary state licenses and permits before operating a home-based massage therapy business.

In Arizona, a license is typically required for providing foot massages, as these services fall under massage therapy regulations. Practitioners must obtain a massage therapy license from the Arizona State Board of Massage Therapy, which involves meeting specific educational and training criteria. It's important for anyone offering foot massage services to comply with state regulations to ensure legality and professionalism. Always check with local authorities for the most current requirements.
Most states check on previous licenses when a new license is applied for. If a license is suspended in another state, it is unlikely a new license will be issued in another.
