Kentucky Board of Physical Therapy

NEW LICENSURE APPLICANTS PLEASE READ!

If you plan to apply for your Kentucky credential in the last three months of 2018, please be aware that Kentucky has a fixed deadline for licensure renewal.

The next renewal deadline is March 31, 2019, and all physical therapists who have been issued a license prior to January 1, 2019, as well as all physical therapist assistants who have been issued a certificate prior to January 1, 2019 will be required to renew in order to continue to practice in Kentucky.

THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS.

If you will not be practicing in Kentucky as a physical therapist or working as a physical therapist assistant before January of 2019, you have the option to withhold your application until after January 1, 2019, in order to avoid paying the renewal fee. Alternately, you have the option to submit your application now and request in writing that your credential not be issued until after January 1, 2019.

Please print and complete the CATCH 22 (PDF 112 KB) form and mail it with your licensure application and fee in order to alert us to your preference. If no preference is indicated, then your license/certificate will be issued as soon as all requirements for issuing the credential are met.
