Revival Methods:

If your license has lapsed less than five years:

  1. Revival by Payment: If you first received your NC PT/PTA license within the last year and/or have not completed your first continuing competence reporting period.

  2. Revival with Continuing Competence: If your NC PT/PTA license has been lapsed for less than five years and you have completed a continuing competence reporting period.

If your license has been lapsed for more than five years:

  1. Revival by Endorsement: If your NC PT/PTA license has lapsed and you have a current, active PT/PTA license in another state.

  2. Revival by Application:  If your NC PT/PTA license has been lapsed over five years and you do not have a current, active PT/PTA license in another state, you can revive your NC PT/PTA license by either completing 500 Hours (education and clinical Hours), or taking and passing the NPTE. Both these options must be pre-approved by the Board office.
