Licensed in another state?
Colorado 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 Colorado license, $95 for a PT. (PT Compact Commission, 9 Nov 2026.) For a Colorado license, apply to the Colorado State Physical Therapy Board (Division of Professions and Occupations) for a license by endorsement: what Colorado asks. Every state's PT Compact status.
What Colorado requires of a physical therapist

- Staying active: Licenses renew on a two-year cycle; after the first renewal, physical therapists complete a self-assessment, a learning plan and at least 30 hours of professional development activities per period, at least 20 of them in educational coursework, fellowships or residencies.
