Phlebotomy Technician in Washington
Washington State Dept. of Health (DOH)
Washington credentials phlebotomists as a Medical Assistant-Phlebotomist (MA-P) through the Department of Health. DOH does not run its own exam — you either pass a national certifying organization's exam (ACA, AMCA, AMT, ASCP, NCCT or NHA) or complete an accredited/attested training program. You also complete 7 hours of AIDS education (WAC 246-827). The national certification exams are given in English; our multilingual practice questions are a study aid.

State rules change often. This table shows only facts confirmed from an official state agency source on the date noted; anything unconfirmed is marked “to confirm.” In the ~46 states not listed, there is no state phlebotomy license — national certification (ASCP, NHA, AMT, NCCT, etc.) is voluntary or employer-driven. Always verify current requirements with your state agency or certifying organization before you register.
