Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact

Compact Description

Mutual recognition model compacts allow a practitioner to practice in the compact member states either using a multistate license or by obtaining a “compact privilege”.
To be eligible for a compact privilege, you must hold an active license in your home state (which must be a member of the compact) and meet other eligibility criteria, such as having no disciplinary action against your license for at least two years. When eligibility is verified, jurisprudence requirements are met, and all fees are paid, you receive the compact privilege and may begin legally working in the new state.
