Services and Fees for the Application for Physical Therapy Licensure Evaluation

1. Reports and Fees
   
   A file number will be assigned and notification will be sent upon receipt of the application. A minimum of 60 business days (from receipt of all necessary documentation) will be necessary to process your file. As required by the state boards, copies of all files are forwarded for consultation to a licensed practicing physical therapist, who is employed by IERF.
    
   Please note that evaluation reports may vary, depending on the individual requirements of each state board.
    
   1. Physical Therapy Evaluation – $395 per application. This report identifies postsecondary institutions attended, dates of attendance, credential(s) earned and the United States educational equivalent. A state board-specific credentials evaluation checklist, which identifies subject areas and U.S. semester unit values (where applicable), is also included.
       
   2. Evaluation for Additional State Boards – One official board copy and one applicant copy are included in the report fee. Reports for additional boards requested at the time of application are $100 per state.
      
      Note: Once a report has been mailed, duplicate/revised copies of a physical therapy evaluation require a seperate application form and fees.
