Is Your OT License Up for Renewal?

Is It Time to Renew Your OT License?

It’s that time of year again! April brings lots of mail including notices to renew your OT license! If you are like me, each time you renew, you have to become reacquainted with the process. How do I renew? How many continuing education requirements do I need? What’s my renewal deadline?

Not to worry! We can help! Renewing your Occupational Therapy (OT) license in Pennsylvania requires a few important steps, but with some planning ahead, you can make the process smooth and stress-free.

Tips To Help You Through The OT Renewal Process In Pennsylvania

  • Review Your License Expiration: Your OT license needs to be renewed every two years in Pennsylvania. Current licenses expire either June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2025. Be sure to check the expiration date on your current license so that you can start the renewal process on time!
  • Start Early: Nobody likes to deal with the stress of completing important things at the last minute. Save yourself the stress and get started with your renewal process well in advance of your PA OT license expiration.
  • Complete Your CEUs: To qualify for a renewal of your PA OT License, you must complete 24 hours of approved education activity. If you are not sure if your CEUs count towards your renewal, check out the PA Acceptable Continued Competency Activities. Don’t forget about your PA Abuse Education as well!
  • Submit Your PA OT License Renewal Application: To renew your occupational therapy license in Pennsylvania, simply log in to the PA Professional License Renewal System, fill out the renewal application, and pay the required fee.
  • For Additional Information: Check out the updated State Board of Occupational Therapy Renewal Guide.
