PT Licensure - Approximate Timeframes

Below are the average licensing processing timeframes per state. Please note that timeframes for verifications, transcripts, and background checks can affect the processing times and each persons situation may vary slightly.    Please also take note of the following important information:
Verifications:  Most states require verification of all previously held licenses (current and expired). There is normally a form within the application packet to use to request the verification. The form should be copied and one used for each state you have ever been licensed. You will need to check w/ each state board to find out the mailing address and cost for the verification.
Score Transfer:  All states require transfer of your FSBPT scores. A link to the request page may be found HERE. This is an online process where you will make the request and payment online. The scores will automatically be transferred to the board within about 5 business days.
Transcripts:  Some states require original transcripts delivered directly from your school. Please read through the application carefully to see if this applies. If required, the application packet may contain a form to use to send to the school to make the request. Always check w/ the school to see if there is a charge to request transcripts and to confirm what address transcript requests go to. (Note: Boards normally do not accept COPIES of transcripts you may already have).
CEUs:  Some states require the completion of CEUs for licensure. Please read through the application carefully to see if this applies.
