Military Servicemembers and Their Spouses
The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (“SCRA”), 50 U.S.C. § 4025a, governs a
servicemember or spouse of a servicemember who has a “covered license” to practice
law in a state other than Virginia and relocates his or her residence to Virginia pursuant to
orders requiring military service in a state other than the state that issued the “covered
license.” A “covered license” under SCRA § 4025a(f) will be considered valid in
Virginia only if the servicemember or spouse submits an application to the Virginia
