Licensed in another state?

Connecticut 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 Connecticut license, $45 for a PT. (PT Compact Commission, 9 Nov 2026.) For a Connecticut license, apply to the Connecticut Department of Public Health for a license by endorsement ($285, by its own page): what Connecticut asks. Every state's PT Compact status.

What Connecticut requires of a physical therapist

Physical Therapist License, from the Connecticut Department of Public Health.

  • An applicant applies online with a photograph and fee, and arranges for an official transcript, NPTE results sent by the FSBPT Score Transfer Service and a verification form from each state where a license is or ever was held to be sent directly to the Department. State law also requires a state and national fingerprint-based criminal history records check of every applicant.
  • Staying active: Licenses renew every year; each renewal requires at least 20 hours of continuing education completed during that one-year period, and a first renewal is exempt.
