Basically, all states are green, except for Louisiana and Connecticut, and have full reciprocity. The link has more info.
I live in New Hampshire, but took the New York one because it did not have an in-person testing requirement like NH one does. The NY one was free, and I just put my NH address. I then paid $15 to get two lifetime plastic cards mailed to me. My wife did the same, but took the Florida one. So, now that I have my plastic NY certificate, I can use it in almost all states, including NH.

NASBLA reciprocity may not be all that's needed to operate in other States. Each State has different rules, and it's best to check directly with the State that you'll be operating in, for any requirements.
In the above example, NH accepts:
"A boating certificate issued by another State agency and NASBLA approved." https://www.nhsp.dos.nh
For New York State, since the BoatUS Foundation is the issuer of the certificate, rather than NYS, this one wouldn't be valid for NH.
The Florida one may be valid in NH, since that one is issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and is NASBLA approved.

If I take the course now, will the certificate be good when I renew my license in a few years?
