The International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE®) wishes to inform our candidates, certificants, and partners of an official change of address.
Effective December 10, 2025, IBLCE’s new mailing address is:
3120 Fairview Park Drive, Ste 720, Falls Church, VA 22042
Please update your records accordingly and learn more here.
The federal government shutdown has halted funding for many vital programmes—including the Hospitals Promoting Breastfeeding program at the CDC, the only line item in the federal budget explicitly dedicated to breastfeeding support.
Congress can prevent disruption of local programmes to support mothers and babies by ensuring the Hospitals Promoting Breastfeeding line item is included in the next emergency appropriation or continuing resolution.
The online credential management system has an improved appearance. Over the last several months, IBLCE’s database provider has been working behind the scenes to improve the online credential management system. Users still have access to all the important information about the examination, credentials, and certificates, but now with a more streamlined, accessible user experience.
Our mission: Serving the global public interest by advancing professional practice in lactation consultation and support through credentialing.
The IBCLC programme is accredited by NCCA. 
MILCC removes financial barriers to accessing the IBCLC credential by fostering inclusiveness, promoting philanthropy, and increasing public awareness of the value of the IBCLC.
Recognising maternity and community-based facilities worldwide that hire currently certified International Board Certified Lactation Consultant® (IBCLC®) certificants.
