Verify Your PT/PTA is Licensed

  • Ask to view their license from your state or jurisdiction 

    This will list the individual’s name, initial licensure, date and renewal date.

  • Look-up a licensed individual directly from the state's website

    Go to Verify a PT/PTA license and find your state licensing board.

Most PTs and PTAs are highly ethical, competent, and caring individuals. Even so, you may see disciplinary actions listed when you verify a license. Sometimes the discipline is for a relatively minor incident such as failure to renew on time; other actions are more serious.
