Licensed in another state?
Missouri issues and accepts OT Compact privileges: an occupational therapist or OT assistant whose home state is a member can take this job on a compact privilege instead of a Missouri license. (Occupational Therapy Compact Commission, 9 Nov 2026.) For a Missouri license, apply to the Missouri Board of Occupational Therapy for a license by endorsement ($40, by its own page): what Missouri asks. Every state's OT Compact status.
What Missouri requires of an occupational therapist
Occupational therapist license, from the Missouri Board of Occupational Therapy.
- An occupational therapist licensed for at least one year in another state, a US territory or the District of Columbia applies by reciprocity with a notarized application, the fee and the completed Missouri jurisprudence exam. NBCOT sends verification of the credential, and every state where a license was held sends a verification of licensure, directly to the board.
