Renewal Application

Due to a burst pipe in the building, the Kentucky Board of Physical Therapy has lost access to phones and internet at the office for an undetermined length of time. The best means of communication is via the Board email at KYBPT@KY.GOV.

NEW LICENSURE APPLICANTS!

If you plan to apply for your Kentucky credential in the last two months of 2022, please be aware that Kentucky has a fixed deadline for licensure renewal.

The next renewal deadline is March 31, 2023, and all physical therapists who have been issued a license prior to January 1, 2023, as well as all physical therapist assistants who have been issued a certificate prior to January 1, 2023 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 2023, you have the option to withhold your application until after January 3, 2023, 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 3, 2023.

Please print and complete the CATCH 22 (PDF-100KB) 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.

ALERT

The Kentucky Board of Physical Therapy has been notified of a scam targeting our licensees and certificate holders. The scam has also been reported by licensees of other State Physical Therapy Boards.

Licensees have reported receiving phone calls 'spoofing' the Kentucky Board of Physical Therapy phone number, which makes calls appear as though they are coming from us.

The licensee is threatened with an investigation by the Board and/or the FBI, and the scammer demands personal information or money to resolve it.

The Kentucky Board of Physical Therapy will not contact you to demand money or personalized information. The Board DOES NOT accept payments over the phone. If you believe that you may owe a balance to the Board, you can confirm this balance and receive the most up-to-date information by calling the Kentucky Board office.

If you do receive a call of this nature, please contact the Kentucky Board of Physical Therapy directly at (502) 429-7140 to inquire if there’s a valid, official reason for the call.
