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