| FEES for APPLICATIONS |

We do not pro-rate fees; you pay either for a one year or a two year license
If the license is issued before March, 2009: The license is valid until May, 2010.
You pay the application fee and second year license fee.
If the license is issued after March 1, 2009: The license is valid until May, 2010.
You pay the application fee only and not the second year fee.
CLARIFICATION NOTE:
We license in even years: May 2008 to May 2010.
- If you apply at the beginning of a two year licensure period,
you will pay the application fee, plus the second year fee.
- If you apply during the second year of the two year licensure period,
you will pay only the application fee and not the second year fee.
In July 2007 the renewal fees were reduced:
The fee for an initial Oregon occupational therapy license application is $100.
The renewal fee for the second year of the occupational therapy license is $85.
(reduced from $100 a year )
The fee for the initial Oregon occupational therapy assistant license application is $70.

| HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? |
|
Our goal is to issue licenses after receipt of all required documents within three working days.
NBCOT has an expedited process - see information with the application form.
What takes longest is waiting for verifications to come in from the states where
you have been licensed in the last five years. Be sure to pay the fee when you request
the state(s) to send verifications to the Oregon Board.

If documents will come in a different name, please make that clear on the front of your application form!

The Limited Permit is the only "temporary" license we have in Oregon which allows a new graduate to work under the supervision of a licensed OT waiting for the exam results.
Oregon does NOT have any other temporary license.
