Application for Relicensure for Board of Physical Therapy

Renewal Instructions

1. Applicants seeking relicensure must complete the online form and pay the renewal fee online.
2. Because state law has changed from a one-year license to a two-year license per SDCL 36-10-33, your license will be renewed for a two-year period instead of one. Therefore, you will be required to pay the “annual” renewal fee of $60 for two years for a total of $120.
3. Continuing education required – Per ARSD 20:66:03:03, you will be required to sign a statement on the renewal application to confirm completion of 15 continuing education hours in the previous licensure period in professional education activities updating competency in Physical Therapy. Make sure you maintain a personal file of all continuing education as you may have to present proof of completion if requested by the Board.
4. If not renewing, please notify the Board as soon as possible by selecting I will not be renewing option in the renewal form.
5. Please review the online renewal and correct any inaccurate information, so that our database can be updated with your most current information.
6. Prior to beginning the renewal application please ensure you have any documentation for any "yes" answers to the legal questions. The documents will be required to be uploaded.
7. Moving forward, once renewed, your license will have an expiration date of January 1, 2026 rather than 2025. You will be required to obtain 30 hours of continuing education between January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2026. It is important to note that there are no additional continuing education requirements or fee increases at this time. The transition is from an annual renewal process to a biennial renewal process.
