Occupational therapists must be licensed to practice in all U.S. states. The certification and licensing process varies slightly from state to state, but the following are common requirements :

Certification (NBCOT) : Occupational therapists are required to pass the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) exam. Once certified, they can apply for licensure in any state.

State Licensure : All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories require occupational therapists to hold a valid state license to practice. Each state has its own licensing board that sets specific requirements, including continuing education for license renewal.

Some states may have additional regulations, such as :

Reciprocity agreements with other states allowing easier transfer of licenses.

Continuing education requirements to maintain licensure.

Criminal background checks for licensure approval.

States with Specific Certification or Additional Requirements :

California : Requires passing a state exam in addition to the NBCOT exam.

Texas : Requires licensure from the Texas Board of Occupational Therapy Examiners.

Florida : Requires passing a state law exam.

It is important for occupational therapists to review the specific licensing requirements for the state in which they wish to practice.
