Can a Occupational Therapist transfer a license to Arizona as a military spouse?
Yes. Arizona is a member of the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact (OT Compact), so a Occupational Therapist holding a multistate/compact license can practice in AZ without re-applying. Compact provides clear portability — military spouses with OT licenses should join the compact for maximum flexibility.

Under A.R.S. 32-4302, a spouse of an active-duty service member accompanying the member on a permanent change of station to Arizona who holds a license in good standing in another state is granted licensure without examination, and this universal-recognition statute applies to the Board of Occupational Therapy Examiners.
