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