Maine PT and PTA license renewal
Maine’s physical therapy licensing page lists renewal terms (“This license renews annually on March 31.”) but no continuing education requirement. The statute says: “The board shall establish by rule continuing education requirements as a condition of renewal of a license”.
Quoted from official pages checked November 12, 2026. Confirm current requirements, fees, and dates on those sites. This page is not legal advice and does not guarantee eligibility, certification, or licensure.
Sources read on November 12, 2026: the Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation Physical Therapist, Physical Therapist Assistant licensing page, 32 M.R.S. §3116-B, and the Secretary of State’s list of current rules for the Board of Examiners in Physical Therapy (02-393).
Current rules
The Secretary of State lists seven current chapters for the board: definitions, general provisions, licensure requirements, supervision standards, enforcement, code of ethics, and fees (paraphrased). None is a continuing education chapter, and the licensure chapter’s renewal section does not mention CE (paraphrased). Confirm with the board before you renew, because the statute anticipates a CE rule.
Renewal
The page says the department must verify that you meet all conditions for renewal before a license is renewed, and late renewals within 90 days are allowed with a late fee (paraphrased).
Required topics
None set. Maine’s PT licensing page lists no CE, and the board’s current rule chapters do not set hours, though statute directs the board to (read November 12, 2026).
Compare states: required CE topics by state.
What this page does not do
It covers the state physical therapy license only, and only what the official page or pages named above say. It does not list fees and does not replace the board’s own instructions. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
