License Renewal - Now Open!

All Minnesota PT and PTA licenses expire on December 31. The annual renewal fee is $60 and the late fee is $20. You are able to make a secure payment through US Bank with a MasterCard or Visa credit card. You are strongly encouraged to renew early online, allowing time for any technical difficulties which may occur. Our online services are most compatible with Google Chrome.

You must have an active license to practice as a physical therapist or physical therapist assistant in Minnesota. Practice under a lapsed or non-renewed credential is a basis for discipline under MS 148.75 (a) (18). Any practice after December 31, 2022, will be looked at as practicing without a license until your license has been renewed for 2023.
