Yes. Utah is a member of the Physical Therapy Compact, issuing and accepting compact privileges (PT Compact Commission, read 9 Nov 2026). A physical therapist or PT assistant whose home state is a member and who holds an unencumbered license there can work in Utah on a compact privilege instead of a second license. A privilege costs $92 for a PT (the $47 Utah fee and the commission's $45) and $92 for a PTA (the $47 Utah fee and the commission's $45). Someone from a state outside the compact needs Utah's own license from its licensing board.
