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.

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