Licensed in another state?

Georgia issues and accepts PT Compact privileges: a physical therapist or PT assistant whose home state is a member can take this job on a compact privilege instead of a Georgia license, $110 for a PT. (PT Compact Commission, 9 Nov 2026.) For a Georgia license, apply to the Georgia State Board of Physical Therapy for a license by endorsement: what Georgia asks. Every state's PT Compact status.

What Georgia requires of a physical therapist

Physical therapist license, from the Georgia State Board of Physical Therapy.

  • A reciprocity applicant (O.C.G.A. 43-33-15) provides verification of an active license in good standing from another state board and of good standing from every state where a license was held, verification of active practice in the two years before applying (CAPTE graduates may instead show 26 hours of continuing education), an official transcript, passing national licensing examination scores and passing scores on the Georgia Ethics and Jurisprudence Examination.
  • Staying active: Licenses renew every two years by December 31 of odd-numbered years, with 30 hours of continuing competence per biennium, including at least 4 hours in Georgia ethics and jurisprudence (or passing the Georgia Ethics and Jurisprudence Examination).
