Within how many days must a licensee notify the board of a name change?

A licensee must notify the board of a name change within 30 days to ensure that their records are accurate and up-to-date. Prompt notification is important for maintaining the integrity of the licensing process and for clear communication regarding the licensee’s professional responsibilities. This requirement is established to help avoid any complications that might arise from having outdated information on file, which could potentially lead to issues related to licensure status or professional correspondence. Keeping the board informed of such changes is a vital part of maintaining compliance with state regulations governing the practice of physical therapy.
