Temporary License Requirements/Availability[edit | edit source]

• Temporary licenses of up to 90 days are available to those in West Virginia who have applied to take the board licensure examination or those who have a license issued outside of West Virginia. Temporary license holders must work under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist until their permanent license is in effect. After passing the examination, the temporary license is still in effect for 30 days after they receive the results of the examination. If the temporary license holder fails the examination, the temporary license expires immediately.[1]
