Each state sets its own conditions, usually some mix of recent practice, NBCE parts or SPEC, a state law exam, clean history and equivalent requirements. A walk through the pieces, with the actual rules from fifteen states.

Here are the states we have verified, the ones that allow a substitute, and what the new format means for the timing of an application.

Some boards issue a certification or registration with set training hours (Florida, Maryland, Nevada, Oklahoma), some require documented training with no filing (Montana), and many say nothing specific. The verified requirements, with citations, and what moving states means for a DC who already dry needles.

It is never a transfer: it is a full application with conditions on years of practice, exams, jurisprudence and history, and some states limit it to states that return the favor. Six common misunderstandings, checked against state rules. Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT noreply@whiteglovechiropractic.com (White Glove Chiropractic) https://www.whiteglovechiropractic.com/blog/nbce-physiotherapy-exam https://www.whiteglovechiropractic.com/blog/nbce-physiotherapy-exam The NBCE calls Physiotherapy an elective exam, but Florida, Texas, California and several other states require it for a license. New York does not. A DC who skipped it in school can find it is the one missing piece in a move to a new state.

The statute sets 40 in-person hours (24 if already certified in chiropractic acupuncture), a written and practical exam, and 10 supervised patient sessions. Here is what goes in the file and where applications stall.

Nurses, physicians, psychologists and physical therapists have compacts; chiropractors rely on each state's endorsement rules, universal recognition laws and temporary permits instead.

New York, Florida, Texas, Alabama, Alaska and Nebraska each use it in different situations: endorsement, an old degree, a long inactive period. Here is when it comes up, what it costs and how to plan around the six testing windows a year.

Florida, Texas and Arizona each do it differently on fees, CE and what the credential is called. The verified requirements and how a certification interacts with moving states.

It verifies a chiropractor's qualifications, discipline history and specialty certifications so boards with temporary licensure have a uniform check. It does not authorize practice anywhere; the state board does.

Texas, Florida, California, Oklahoma, Oregon and others each run a different exam: open-book or closed, online or at Prometric, 40 questions or 52. What they cover, what they cost and where they sit in the application.

The rule, 16.4.15 NMAC, asks for a competency exam or a qualifying graduate degree plus 90 clinical and didactic hours from an institution both the medical and chiropractic boards approve.

Texas caps its temporary license at 30 days a year, Georgia limits visiting chiropractors to the team or event, Oklahoma wants three weeks' notice, and a 2018 federal law covers some team doctors.

Florida, Texas, Arizona, Maryland, Nevada and New Mexico each attach different paperwork to different modalities. How to read a state's scope rules for what must be filed.

Stat. § 460.406, with NBCE Parts I–IV, Physiotherapy and the Florida Laws and Rules exam, and the MOBILE endorsement route under § 456.0145, which asks for two years of practice in the last four and a clean five-year record.

Florida may require SPEC when a degree is more than 10 years old, Nebraska looks at scores over three years old, and prerequisite rules turn on the date you started chiropractic school. What a DC who graduated years ago should check before applying.

Three separate rule sets apply: who on staff may take films, how the x-ray machine is registered with the state radiation program, and any imaging CE the board requires. Examples from Florida, Texas, Alaska and Arkansas show how differently states handle each.
