Information on Renewal       Apply Now

When a Type I certificate is issued it is good for five years from the date of issue. If the USCIS determines that you need a renewed certificate or if the certificate is not used within 5 years, then you would need to apply for the related service of Type I Certificate Renewal.

To renew the certificate the applicant must provide:

1. Verification of ALL licenses held since graduation (both active and inactive licenses).
   1. Request for Verification of Physical Therapy License (page one to be filled out by applicant, page two to be completed by regulatory authority)
2. NPTE score transfer if applicant holds a US license
3. New passing scores on the English Proficiency tests, (taken within the past two years).
   1. TOEFL/TWE and TSE or the IBT-TOEFL examination is accepted.

The USCIS does not require a re-evaluation of the educational credentials review completed previously.
