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