FOR ALL APPLICANTS: You can monitor your license status through your Online Licensing System account, and check for verification of licensure here. 

 


Online Licensing System Transition Complete

ECPTOTE transitioned to a new licensing system on March 17, 2025. If you have not created an account in the new system, you need to do so before you can submit an initial application for licensure or renew your license.

Please see the User Guides for specific information on how to Create an Online Account, apply for a PT/PTA license or OT/OTA license, and renew an existing license.

Further information is available on the PT License Renewal and PT Application pages and the OT License Renewal and OT Application pages.
