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.
