Licensed in another state?
Maryland 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 Maryland license. (Occupational Therapy Compact Commission, 9 Nov 2026.) For a Maryland license, apply to the Maryland Board of Occupational Therapy Practice for a license by endorsement ($200, by its own page): what Maryland asks. Every state's OT Compact status.
