Temporary License Requirements/Availability

The state of Hawaii does not currently offer temporary licensure to individuals who have not taken and passed the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE). While there is no temporary license available, the state does offer what is referred to as a limited permit. This is a permit which allows physical therapy students who have recently graduated to work as a physical therapist under a supervising, licensed therapist. This is available up until the time in which the recently graduated student is able to sit for the NPTE. Upon passing, the individual becomes licensed and can practice without the supervision of another therapist. If the he or she is unsuccessful, the limited permit is revoked and until the individual passes the NPTE, he or she will not be allowed to practice as a physical therapist in the state of Hawaii.
