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

A military spouse stationed in Utah may work in a DOPL-licensed profession, which includes occupational therapy, without obtaining a Utah license while holding an active license in good standing from another state or U.S. territory, and DOPL directs military members and spouses to its Military Resources page before applying.
